Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that 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 are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility just a D for our short-term care grade and that actually ended up being its second best score. Short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its grade in this area, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

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 based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the next category, this nursing home really didn't perform well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities provide. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the vaccine to only 87.78626 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
