Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best category was long-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 85.17242 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Nursing scores are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is well below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our last category, this facility really did not perform well in this area either. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
