Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Even though this place's overall score was abysmal, it didn't perform terribly in the category of short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is a decent score. However, this wasn't enough to save its overall profile. In forming our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The final item we considered in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

As it turns out, its government inspection reports were not the source of this nursing home's bottom of the barrel overall grade. It received a grade of C in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This means that this facility avoided the more significant categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility just a D for our long-term care grade. This is well below average in this category. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 96.61836 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest category was nursing, which is the last category we analyzed. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. Our nursing grade assesses a handful of components, however, the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
