Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

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 B-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not 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 the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Additionally, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. With our short-term care score, we strive to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. 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. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. The nursing grade consists of several subcategories, but the main consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we rated is long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is obviously very concerning. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the data points we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. We were a bit concerned this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 89.88764 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
