Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Although we graded this facility incredibly unfavorably overall, it surprisingly received an impressive short-term care grade this year. We awarded it a B in this area. Our short-term care scores are considered to be most important for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility excelled in nursing, where it earned a grade of B-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to point out this nursing home's inspection grade where it received a lowly F. This typically means we found some red flags on its government 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 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed significant government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This usually indicates that a facility's poor performance has been an issue for multiple years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we assessed is long-term care, where this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade here as well. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated just 72.86822 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
