Facility Inspections

Grade: C

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of C. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This tells you inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving a a terrible grade in our short-term care area. It received an F in this category. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is frequently a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing score features a variety of datapoints. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we rated was long-term care. It received an abysmal F for this category, which is a very poor grade. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 57.397263 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
