Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only earned a grade of D for its long-term care grade, which turns out to be one of its better category grades. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. We were a bit alarmed this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to just 76.546394 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Our third area we looked at was short-term care, in which this facility received an F. With our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. With a grade of this caliber in this category, we weren't shocked to learn that this facility was below average in many staffing figures we looked at. In fact, it provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.5 percent of its patients returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final category we rated was nursing. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in this category. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the skill levels of those nurses. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. In addition to rating below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor scores in the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in both of these statistics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These statistics pulled down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
