Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility also didn't perform too badly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of C in that category, which turned out to be among its more favorable grades. Our short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. There are numerous factors within this grade. Many of these factors reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we looked at was long-term care. This facility was given a very poor grade of F in this category. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 97.515526 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
