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. Inspection scores are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories J through L. This tells you inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to place resident safety or health in immediate harm or jeopardy. 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

Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which happens to be one of its better category scores. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is typically a fair measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. With its score in this category, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.7 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Our third category we assessed is long-term care, in which this facility received an F. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 98.68421 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our final category, this nursing home did not fare very well in this category either. With a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is really as terrible as it gets. Our nursing grade considers many subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
