Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Neither this facility's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best category was inspections, but even there we gave it a D. This is a very poor grade. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. Generally, you should be more cautious when considering a facility that has severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This facility was assessed 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home ended up receiving a bottom of the barrel score in our short-term care category. It was given an F in this category. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is often a meaningful assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we rated was long-term care. It received a lowly F for this area, which is an abysmal score. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to just 30.340557 percent of its patients, which is somewhat concerning. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
