Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Neither this nursing home's overall grade nor its category scores gave us much to write home about. Its best category was short-term care, but even there it received just a D. Our short-term care ratings are likely more important for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.9 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home excelled in the category of nursing, where it earned an D. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's worst category grades was a lowly F for its inspection score. Generally, this means we found some red flags on the nursing home's government inspections. For nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home was assessed a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had potential to cause actual harm to residents. Finally, we also need to point out that this nursing home received large government fines recently of more than $100,000. This often means that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility really didn't fare well here either. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility provided the vaccine to only 61.67076 percent of its residents, which is somewhat concerning. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
