Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our short-term care rating. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an D. In determining a facility's nursing score, we assess the number of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This place provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

This facility received an F for its inspection grade. For places with bad inspection grades, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed large government fines amounting to more than $100,000. This typically signifies that a nursing home's poor performance has been an issue for multiple years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in this area. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated just 68.84422 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
