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. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an D. Our nursing score is based on several subcategories, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this nursing home only received a D for its long-term care score, which is well below average in this category. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 97.402596 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we graded was short-term care, in which this facility received a rock bottom score here as well. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is definitely somewhat alarming. In our short-term care category, we strive to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Given its grade in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the figures we assessed. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.7 percent of its residents returning home.
