Long-term Care Quality

Although we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall score, we awarded it a C for long-term care. In our long-term care grade, we weigh the sheer volume of services offered by a facility, along with some quality datapoints. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average datapoint. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. With just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. When a facility has this poor of an inspection grade, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we rated was short-term care. This nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that area. In our short-term care grade, we strive to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Given its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
