Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to present an imminent risk to resident health or safety. 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: D

We gave this nursing home just a D for our short-term care rating and that actually wound up as its second most favorable score. With our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. With a grade in this range in this area, we were not shocked to find that this nursing home was well below average in multiple staffing areas we assess. The facility supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a D for its long-term care rating, which is not one of our better scores. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 83.78378 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we analyzed is nursing. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is a poor grade. When calculating our nursing ratings, we analyze both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of performing poorly in terms of nursing hours, this place also had rock bottom scores in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home was at more than double the national average in both of these data points. This is alarming when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing this nursing home's fate of receiving a very weak nursing grade.
