Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't 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 necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Sadly, this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this facility provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the fourth area, this facility really didn't perform well in this area either. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is about as terrible as it gets. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated only 66.51584 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
