Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Sadly, we didn't have any favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall grade or its category grades. Its best category is the category of inspections. Nevertheless, with just a D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. Inspection scores factor in many items on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. If you find severe deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is typically a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed large government fines in recent years totaling more than $100,000. This often signifies that a nursing home's bad performance has been an issue for several years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an F. In calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of the nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Our next area we graded was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given an F. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we scored is long-term care. It received an F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 92.030075 percent of its patients, which is a few points below what we expected. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
