Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this facility's overall score was as bad as it gets, it fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that have too many severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of F. There are a variety of criteria included in this category. Most of these datapoints reflect staffing levels. This facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Our third area we looked at is short-term care, in which this facility was given an F. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the next category, this nursing home did not fare well here either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated just 66.860466 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
