Facility Inspections

Grade: B

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it earned a relatively impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our more favorable scores in that category with a B. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We were also stunned to find that this nursing home received a solid short-term care grade in our assessment. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more important for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. We assessed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses spent with patients, in computing our rating in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed is long-term care. This facility received a poor grade of F in this category. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 95.12195 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
