Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Nursing scores are mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This place averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility wound up receiving a bottom of the barrel grade in our long-term care area. It was given an F in this category. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 80.511185 percent of its residents. This is multiple points below what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we assessed is short-term care. This nursing home was given an abysmal grade of F in that category. In our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Based on its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected here. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
