Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Neither this nursing home's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best category was long-term care, but even there it received just a D. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 94.52888 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out this facility's inspection rating where it received a lowly F. This usually means we found some red flags on its inspection reports. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We would scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility was hit with 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received significant government fines in recent years exceeding $50,000. This usually suggests that inspectors became fed up after multiple years of failed inspections.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing score analyzes a handful of subcategories, most of which are associated with nursing hours. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we assessed is short-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in that area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is typically a useful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Considering its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we looked at. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
