Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Although this facility's overall score was terrible, it fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with a list of deficiencies flagged. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. The nursing score features a variety of subcategories. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another unfortunate development was the F this nursing home was given in the category of short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed was long-term care, in which this facility was given a very poor grade in this area as well. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously very concerning. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 53.08642 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be several points lower than average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
