Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most important for folks requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This facility didn't perform horribly in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category. Other categories were the source of this facility's 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 items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing score weighs many subcategories. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. 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 determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we scored is long-term care. This facility was given a poor grade of F in this area. For residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.6 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
