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. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We were also surprised to find that this facility earned a solid long-term care grade this year. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's personal care instead of the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. Nursing grades are mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 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-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the next category, this nursing home really didn't fare very well in this area either. Due to a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. With a score this poor for this area, we were not surprised to find this nursing home was below average in two of the key staffing areas we focus on. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
