Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Sadly, we did not have any favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall grade or its other ratings. Its best category is the area of inspections. Nevertheless, with just a D in this category, it still performed relatively badly. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. Generally, you should be more cautious when considering a nursing home that has severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This often signifies that a facility's poor performance has been an issue for multiple years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care grade. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.411 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last category we graded is nursing, in which this nursing home received a very poor score in this category as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is definitely very concerning. Nursing ratings are based largely on nurse staffing levels. 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. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these metrics pulled down this nursing home's nursing grade significantly.
