Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we graded this place incredibly poorly overall, it received a relatively impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our more favorable scores in that area with a B+. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few 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 that 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 few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home's next most favorable category is short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this place offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing score is based on several datapoints, however, the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the final category, this nursing home did not perform well here either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. One of the data points we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. We were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 79.38931 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
