Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

While we weren't very complementary of this facility's overall score, it received an impressive grade of A- in the category of short-term care. If it weren't for this category, this facility's profile would have been even worse. In our short-term care score, we try to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is largely based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Tragically, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care grade. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to just 88.205124 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The final category we looked at is inspections. This facility did not receive positive government inspections in recent years. As a result, we had to give it an F in this category. For facilities with poor inspection scores, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility was hit with one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies identified by the government inspectors had potential to pose actual harm to residents. Lastly, we want to point out that this facility was assessed significant government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This often suggests that a poor performance has been an issue for more than one year.
