Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also would like to point out that this facility received an F for its long-term care grade. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 90.161 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Our next category we looked at is short-term care, where this facility received an F. In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. With a score this poor in this area, we weren't stunned to find this facility was well below average in two of the key staffing metrics we looked at. In fact, it supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we graded was nursing. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is an abysmal grade. The nursing score features a number of subcategories. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these data points to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
