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. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We were also surprised to find that this nursing home earned a decent short-term care rating this year. We gave it a C in that area. Our short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides 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 facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Remarkably, we awarded this facility a C for our long-term care rating, which is not too bad of a score. Long-term care grades are generally used to measure a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 82.026146 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last category we assessed was nursing, is this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a D in this category. We weighed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses were with residents, in computing our grade in this category. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This statistic is quite a bit below average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
