Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this place'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. Inspection ratings are tied to 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 threat to resident safety. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Nursing scores are mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 71.64179 percent of its residents. This is many points lower than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the next area, this facility really did not fare very well in this area either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this place offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
