Long-term Care Quality

This place didn't perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. We gave it a C for that area. Long-term care ratings are critical for residents requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. 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 nursing home gave the vaccine to 93.67816 percent of its patients, which is a bit less than we expected. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

This facility didn't perform horribly in the category of inspections. We gave it a grade of C for that category. Other categories were the source of its rock bottom overall score. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place had 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you that this facility avoided the more significant classes of deficiencies. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Nurse Quality

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing category weighs a handful of factors, most of which are based on nursing hours. With a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

The final area we graded is short-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in this area. Our short-term care grades are probably more critical for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its abysmal rating in this area, we were not stunned to find that this facility provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.
