Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this place'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. Our inspection grades are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Remarkably, we gave this facility a C for its short-term care grade, which really isn't a bad grade. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home also didn't perform terribly in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is another one its better scores. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving a patient at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our last area, this facility really did not fare well in this category either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is about as terrible as it gets. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 83.05085 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points lower than the national average. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
