Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we gave this place a poor overall score, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections category. This was due to the nursing home receiving a decent inspection report this year. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that had a long list of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 11 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

Additionally, we gave this nursing home an F in the category of long-term care. 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. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility administered the vaccine to only 63.980263 percent of its patients, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. In calculating our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the next category, this nursing home didn't fare well in this category either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. Short-term care grades are often used to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Based on its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.6 percent of its residents returning home.
