Facility Inspections

Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections score. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Moving on to the area of short-term care, this nursing home was awarded just a D in this category. Unfortunately, this proved to be one of its better grades. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is considered to be a solid measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Based on its poor score in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this nursing home offers significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility wound up receiving a rock-bottom score in our long-term care area. It was given a lowly F in this area. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.02631 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Turning to our next category, this nursing home did not perform very well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is about as terrible as it gets. Our nursing grade is based on a handful of data points, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This number is quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
