Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Even though we gave this place a terrible overall score, we gave it a C for our long-term care rating. Long-term care grades are generally used to score a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

As it turns out, its inspection reports were not the source of this facility's abysmal overall grade. In fact, it earned a C in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you that inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Nursing grades are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This place provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we graded is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a poor grade here as well. We gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously a major concern. Our short-term care scores are probably more critical for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With a grade in this range in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this nursing home was below average in many staffing figures we looked at. In fact, it provided significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
