Facility Inspections

Grade: B

While this place's overall grade was terrible, it actually performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We were also surprised to learn that this nursing home received a solid short-term care grade this year. We gave it a C in that category. In computing these short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Additionally, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the area of long-term care. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 80 percent of its patients, which is slightly concerning. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final category we looked at was nursing. This nursing home was given a rock bottom grade of F in this area. In computing our nursing scores, we look at both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
