Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned a fairly impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our more favorable scores in that area with a grade of B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an F. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses spend with residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another concern is the F this nursing home received in the area of long-term care. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 86.809814 percent of its residents. This is many points lower than average. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded was short-term care, in which this nursing home received a very poor grade in this area also. We gave it an F for this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. As you might expect, we found that this facility offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
