Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

While we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for short-term care. Short-term care grades are vital for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Interestingly, this facility's awful overall score can't really be attributed to its inspection reports. We awarded it a C for our inspections rating. Inspection scores are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in category J, K or L. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to place resident health or safety in immediate harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were surprised to find that this facility also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it a grade of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. Our nursing grade analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This particular place provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This number is well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we looked at was long-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in this category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 71.823204 percent of its residents. This is multiple points lower than the national average. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
