Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care score this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we can find for this facility. Our short-term care scores are important for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home really excelled in our nursing category, where it earned an C. Few facilities performed better in this area. Nursing scores are primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving residents more often.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of long-term care, this facility received just a D in this area. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our final category of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. Since this data is compiled by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight negative feedback in this category. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection grade. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
