Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's next most favorable category was short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still performed relatively badly. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. As you might expect, we learned that this place offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.8 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Sadly, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care grade. Long-term care ratings of this caliber 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. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 66.938774 percent of its patients. This is significantly less than what we expected. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we analyzed was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is an abysmal grade. Our nursing grade assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percent of patients suffering pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
