Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned a relatively impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our more favorable grades in that area with a grade of B+. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of deficiencies. 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 is this nursing home's greatest strength.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to note that this nursing home received an F for its long-term care score. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility gave the vaccine to 94.976074 percent of its residents, which is a very solid percentage. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. The nursing rating weighs quite a few subcategories, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we graded was short-term care. This facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category. Our short-term care grades are probably more important for folks requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score this poor for this category, we were not stunned to learn this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assess. The facility offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
