Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in categories J through L. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to put resident safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility's second best score was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat poorly. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Not surprisingly, we learned that this nursing home provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. When calculating our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we analyzed is long-term care. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in that category. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home gave the vaccine to a relatively low 77.86885 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
