Nurse Quality

Grade: D

In addition to receiving a poor overall grade, we also gave this facility weak grades across the board in the various categories. It received a grade of just D for its nursing score, which was its best grade. Nursing ratings are largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

This nursing home received really poor inspection reports in recent years, causing us to give them an F for inspections. An F in this category is usually a signal that we found some major red flags on its inspection reports. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This nursing home had one category J through K deficiency, which rank among the worst deficiencies. These categories mean that CMS uncovered a deficiency which puts patient health or safety in immediate danger. On top of having severe deficiencies, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility wound up receiving a a terrible grade in our long-term care category. It received an F in this category. Facilities that do not score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 62.458473 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our next category, this facility did not perform well here either. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Considering its grade in this category, we were not stunned to find that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this facility's short-term care score.
