Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although this nursing home's overall grade was rock bottom, it actually didn't perform as badly in nursing. We awarded it a B- for this area. There are quite a few criteria included in this category. Most of the datapoints reflect levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility also didn't rate poorly in the category of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for that area, which ended up being another one of its more favorable grades. In determining our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This facility really didn't perform horribly in the area of inspections. We awarded them a C for that area. Other categories turned out to be the source of this facility's horrific overall grade. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This place was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This indicates this facility dodged the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we scored is long-term care, where this facility was given an abysmal score in this area also. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 69.68641 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
