Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this nursing home extremely poorly overall, it received a more respectable long-term care rating this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. In determining these long-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's personal care services. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.65987 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

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 largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility wound up receiving a a very poor grade in our short-term care area. It was given a lowly F in this category. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. With a grade this poor for this area, we were not surprised to learn this nursing home was well below average in two of the key staffing areas we looked at. It provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

In our final area of inspections, this facility received an F here. Since this information is compiled by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight poor results in this category. For places with bad inspection grades, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility was assessed 9 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we also need to point out that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines in recent years of more than $50,000. This typically suggests that CMS inspectors became frustrated after multiple years of failed inspections.
