Facility Inspections

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection ratings are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

We also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was given an F for its long-term care grade. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 26.03486 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit lower than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

The third category we assessed is short-term care, in which this facility received an F. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This area is typically a meaningful assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Based on its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.

Nurse Quality

Turning to the last category, this nursing home did not fare well in this area either. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Our nursing rating features a host of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This place averaged a meager 0.1 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
