Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care score this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that area, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we could find for this nursing home. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this facility only received a grade of D for its long-term care rating, which is not a score to write home about. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 96.42857 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our final category of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. When a place has this poor of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed significant government fines of over $100,000. This generally suggests that a nursing home's poor performance spanned multiple years.
