Facility Inspections

Grade: C

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 C. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This facility had 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This means this facility dodged the more serious categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a C for our short-term care score, which is not too bad of a score. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were stunned to find that this facility also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an D for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This place averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we graded was long-term care, which is this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated a relatively low 87.76596 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
