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. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility also didn't rate too badly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a C in that category, which happens to be another one of its better scores. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 94.34629 percent of its patients, which is a very solid figure. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. The nursing score is based on many components, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This number is quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we rated is short-term care. This nursing home was given a very poor grade of F in that area. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this place provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
