Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned a very impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that area with a B+. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. This particular nursing home received 10 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: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a D for its long-term care grade, which is actually one of its better category grades. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.59267 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 1.35 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second lowest score is short-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a relatively poor grade. With our short-term care rating, we seek to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 47.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these relatively poor statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we graded is nursing. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in that area. The nursing score is based on several factors, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility had bad scores in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. For starters, we looked at the percent of patients having falls which led to serious injury. This place was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
