Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Although we graded this facility incredibly unfavorably overall, it surprisingly earned a decent short-term care score this year. We gave it a B in this category. Our short-term care scores are probably most important for people needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not appear that this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second most favorable score was long-term care, but it nevertheless received just a D in that area. This turns out to be a relatively poor score. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.28571 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. Amazingly, this particular nursing didn't have any deficiencies on its inspection report. Clearly, this was not the area dragging down its inspection grade. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This often indicates that a nursing home's bad performance spanned more than one year.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we looked at was nursing. This nursing home received a very poor grade of F in that area. Nursing grades are largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
