Facility Inspections

Grade: C

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of C. Inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you that it dodged the more serious classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Nursing ratings are largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The third area we looked at was short-term care, in which this nursing home received an F. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we scored was long-term care. We gave it an F in this category, which is a very poor score. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home gave the vaccine to a relatively low 85.3125 percent of its patients, which is somewhat alarming. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
