Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Neither this nursing home's overall score nor its category scores gave us much to write home about. Its best category is nursing, but even there it received just a D. Our nursing score consists of a handful of datapoints, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. 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, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Included in this nursing home's several abysmal scores was its F in the category of long-term care. Nursing homes that don't score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. After we finished assessing the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 25.498007 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this facility received very poor government inspection reports in recent years, causing them to receive a lowly F in our inspection category. An F in this area is typically a signal that there were red flags on the nursing home's government inspections. With places that received this poor of an inspection rating, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also need to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines in recent years totaling more than $100,000. This often indicates that a poor performance has been an issue for multiple years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the last area, this nursing home really did not fare very well here either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
