Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this place'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. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility also didn't perform terribly in the category of short-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of C in that area, which ended up being among its more favorable scores. Short-term care grades are generally used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The important question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. When calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed is long-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 54.62611 percent of its residents. This is many points lower than what we expected. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
