Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

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 ratings are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home received 6 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Among this facility's host of poor grades was its F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Considering its weak score in this category, we were not shocked to find this place provided significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to just 90.44586 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.06 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our fourth area, this nursing home did not perform well in this area either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is about as terrible as it gets. In computing our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is far below average. Unfortunately, this place also had abysmal scores in several of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hours. For starters, we looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than twice the national average in this datapoint. This is alarming when you consider that many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of receiving a very weak nursing score.
