Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although this nursing home's overall score was terrible, it performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Not having any deficiencies proved to be this facility's greatest strength.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to note this facility's poor short-term care grade where it was given an F. Our short-term care grades are arguably most important for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The final metric we considered in this area is the number 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 poor metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. The nursing rating includes numerous datapoints. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we looked at was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is a poor grade. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 96.17225 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
