Short-term Care Quality

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B for our short-term care rating. In forming our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

As it turns out, its government inspection reports were not the source of this facility's bottom of the barrel overall grade. In fact, it earned a grade of C in this category. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. The nursing score is based on numerous factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This particular place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This number is quite a bit below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

The next category we analyzed was long-term care, in which this facility received a bottom of the barrel score in this category as well. We gave it an F for this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 94.73684 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
