Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Included in this nursing home's litany of poor grades was its F in the area of long-term care. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 58.87446 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

In our next category, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Given its abysmal rating in this category, we weren't stunned to discover this nursing home provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our final area, this facility really did not fare very well here either. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Our nursing grade is based on several data points, however, the main consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. With a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Nevertheless, some nursing homes need to rely on these drugs due to having more patients suffering from dementia.
