Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Although we gave this facility a horrible overall score, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Nursing scores are largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The third category we looked at is long-term care, in which this nursing home received an F. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinates 96.368355 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we rated is short-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is a very poor score. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients who returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
