Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's litany of low-end scores was its F in the category of short-term care. In computing these short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Based on its poor rating in this area, we were not shocked to find that this nursing home offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.8 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another unfortunate development is the F this nursing home was given in the category of long-term care. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 47.540985 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our last category, this facility didn't fare very well in this area either. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. We scrutinized the levels of nurses at the facility, as well as the number of hours those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
