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 ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This indicates it avoided the more ominous categories of deficiencies. 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: C

Incredibly, we awarded this facility a grade of C for its short-term care score, which really isn't a bad grade. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is more often than not a useful measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing category assesses several subcategories, most of which are based on nursing hours. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This number is far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we looked at is long-term care. It received an F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 93.18886 percent of its patients, which is somewhat lower than we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
