Short-term Care Quality

We really weren't high on this facility's overall score or its category scores. We gave it a grade of just D for our short-term care rating and that proved be its highest grade. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. 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 eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Facility Inspections

We wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its inspection score. An F in this category is particularly troublesome because it usually points to major red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. With places that received this poor of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was assessed 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we would like to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This usually suggests that a facility'sbad track record spanned several years.

Nurse Quality

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. There are quite a few subcategories within this category. Many of the datapoints relate to nurse staffing. This place averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

The next area we assessed is long-term care. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in that area. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 90.344826 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
