Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
Long-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we awarded this facility a B- for its long-term care score, which isn't too bad of a score. With our long-term care grade, we look at the sheer volume of care provided by a facility, along with some quality measures. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than most nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

The last area we assessed was nursing. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is well below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
