Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our short-term care rating. With our short-term care grade, we endeavor to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing scores also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second least favorable score was long-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average score. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 48.926014 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points less than the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The final category we looked at was inspections. Unfortunately, this nursing home didn't receive favorable government inspections in recent years. As a result, we had to give it an F in this category. When a facility has this poor of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
