Nurse Quality

Grade: C

While this nursing home's overall score was rock bottom, it didn't perform as badly in the area of nursing. We awarded it a C for that category. The nursing rating considers a number of factors. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home also didn't grade out terribly in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of C for that category, which ended up being among its better scores. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home's third best score was long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes offer. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 91.16608 percent of its patients, which is somewhat lower than we anticipated. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

In our last area of inspections, this nursing home received an F in this area. Since this data is collected by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight poor results in this category. For facilities that received this poor of an inspection score, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was hit with one category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies found by CMS had potential to pose actual harm to patients. We are also concerned by the fact that this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
