Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Inspection grades are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We were also pleasantly surprised to discover that this nursing home earned a somewhat respectable short-term care score this year. We awarded it a B- in that category. In forming these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. In computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the levels of training of those nurses. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our next area, this nursing home really did not perform well in this area either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 87.209305 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
