Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we awarded it an A- for our inspections score. This grade is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that have a long list of severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's unfortunate long-term care grade where it was given a lowly F. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 80.76923 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points lower than what we expected. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Our next area we graded was short-term care, in which this nursing home received an F. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Given its score in this category, we were not surprised to find that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we analyzed is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Our nursing score is based on a variety of data points. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This place averaged only 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these data points to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
