Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid facilities that had a long list of deficiencies. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an D. Our nursing grade is based on several datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

In our next category, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care grades are critical for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the fourth category, this nursing home did not perform well in this category either. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. Facilities that do not score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit worried that this facility gave the vaccine to only 70.479706 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
