Facility Inspections

While this nursing home'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 grade of B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

The third category we analyzed is long-term care. This facility's was given a low-end long-term care score where it was given a lowly F. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 95.42254 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Switching gears to the final area, this facility did not perform very well in this area either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is about as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Based on its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.2 percent of its patients returning home.
