Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform as badly in the area of nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category. Our nursing grade looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of 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. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We were also surprised to find that this nursing home earned a decent short-term care grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that area. In forming our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its long-term care rating, which is not a very good score. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 91.41104 percent of its patients. This is a bit less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning to our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. We weight this category more heavily than our other categories. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by the government inspectors had the potential to pose actual harm to residents. We are also concerned by the fact that this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
