Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we gave it a grade of B+ for our inspections category. This was the result of the facility receiving a decent inspection report this year. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second worse score was short-term care, where it received just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. Our short-term care scores are probably most important for patients requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we scored is long-term care, where this facility received a rock bottom grade here also. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously somewhat alarming. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 73.958336 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly lower than what we expected. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
