Short-term Care Quality

Although this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it didn't perform terribly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to spare its otherwise poor profile. With our short-term care category, we strive to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Nursing grades are primarily tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Facility Inspections

Unfortunately, with a grade of D in the inspection category, this facility performed relatively poorly in that area. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. Generally, you should be most cautious when considering a nursing home that has severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular facility was hit with 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this place was assessed large government fines totaling over $100,000. This typically indicates that a facility's poor performance spanned multiple years.

Long-term Care Quality

The last category we scored was long-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this area. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.924736 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
