Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

While we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall score, we awarded it a B for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most critical for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Nursing grades are primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning a resident even once per day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

This nursing home received a lowly F for its inspection rating. When a place has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this place received large government fines amounting to over $100,000. This usually means that a bad track record has been an issue for several years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we looked at was long-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in that category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities provide. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 81.081085 percent of its patients. This is several points lower than average. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
