Nurse Quality

Grade: C

While we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall score, we awarded it a C for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade is largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. For facilities with bad inspection grades, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility had 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This usually indicates that a nursing home'sbad track record spanned several years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another concern was the F this nursing home received in the category of short-term care. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is more often than not a solid assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical nursing home. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in that category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 80.54187 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
