Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Even though we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its relatively favorable short-term care grade. We awarded it a B+ in this area, which was much better than its overall score. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is often a useful assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. In determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The third area we assessed is long-term care, in which this facility received an F. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 95.249405 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our last category of inspections, this nursing home received a grade that's as bad as it gets. For nursing homes with bad inspection grades, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this place received large government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This usually indicates that a nursing home's poor performance has been an issue for multiple years.
