Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Our inspection grades are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. It does not appear that we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without having all of the deficiency related data, it was a challenge to evaluate it in the area of inspections.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out this nursing home's unfortunate short-term care grade where it received a lowly F. Short-term care grades are often used to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. With its score in this category, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our fourth area, this facility really didn't fare well in this area either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated only 71.65354 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
