Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Nursing scores are mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second worse score was long-term care, where it received just a D in that category. This is a well below average grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility administered the vaccine to just 84.15301 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we rated is short-term care. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in that area. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more important for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With a grade of this caliber in this area, we weren't shocked to find that this nursing home was well below average in two of the key staffing metrics we looked at. It offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
