Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, we didn't have any favorable things to say about this facility's overall score or its category grades. Its best category is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed relatively badly. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average statistic. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility's second most favorable score was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared somewhat badly. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With its grade in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately 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. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This facility averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning the last category of inspections, this facility had an abysmal showing. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection category. For facilities with bad inspection ratings, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 5 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
