Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we gave it a grade of C for our short-term care rating. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The key is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of F. When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another issue was the F this facility received in the category of long-term care. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 55.487804 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on the last category of inspections, this nursing home fared very poorly. It received an F in our inspection rating. This is the most heavily weighted category in our overall grading system. With nursing homes that received this poor of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility had 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable 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. Lastly, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received large government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This often indicates that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for several years.
