Nurse Quality

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Our nursing rating weighs many factors, but the main consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing scores also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care score and that actually wound up as its second best score. Short-term care ratings are important for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this nursing home offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.6 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.

Facility Inspections

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. For places with poor inspection ratings, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we also want to point out that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines recently totaling more than $100,000. This generally indicates that a poor performance has been an issue for several years.

Long-term Care Quality

The next area we graded was long-term care. This nursing home was given a rock bottom grade of F in that category. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 79.04762 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
