Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of F. In determining our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. 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. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility wound up receiving a a terrible grade in our long-term care category. It received a lowly F in this area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 76.89531 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we rated is short-term care. This nursing home received a very poor grade of F in this category. Short-term care scores are important for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the data we looked at. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
