Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, we didn't have any positive things to say about this nursing home's overall grade or its category grades. Its best category is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still performed badly. Facilities that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to only 83 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this nursing home received an F for its inspection rating. This is a particularly important category. Grades in this range typically point to some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. When a facility has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This particular facility had 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we also want to point out that this nursing home received large government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This often signifies that a facility'spoor performance has been an issue for several years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Sadly, this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care grades are arguably more important for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With its weak score in this area, we were not shocked to learn that this nursing home offers substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the final category, this nursing home really didn't perform well in this area either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is really as bad as it gets. Nursing scores are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 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-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
