Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Incredibly, we gave this nursing home a C for its long-term care grade, which is not too bad of a score. Long-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's volume of nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 97.560974 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second worse score was short-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a relatively poor grade. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services To provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this facility provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average nursing home. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our final area, this nursing home did not perform very well in this category either. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Nursing ratings are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. 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. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores pulled down this facility's nursing grade significantly.
