Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was rock bottom, it actually didn't perform as badly in nursing. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for that category. When computing a facility's nursing score, we assess the amount of time nurses are with patients as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, nursing grades also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home only received a D for its long-term care grade, which turns out to be one of its more respectable category scores. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 95.51724 percent of its residents, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to point out this facility's inspection score where it received an F. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility was hit with one deficiency by CMS. We were relieved to find that it was not in one of the categories that suggest that it posed a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines amounting to over $100,000. This often means that a poor performance spanned more than one year.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we analyzed is short-term care. This nursing home received a rock bottom grade of F in that area. Short-term care grades are important for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a grade in this range for this area, we weren't shocked to learn that this place was well below average in the two key staffing metrics we focus on. In fact, it provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
