Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

As it turns out, its inspection reports were not the source of this facility's rock bottom overall grade. It earned a C in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means inspectors did not deem 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 significant government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best score is short-term care. However, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed relatively badly. In forming these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. With a score of this caliber in this category, we were not shocked to discover that this facility was well below average in the two key staffing figures we focus on. The nursing home offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we looked at is long-term care. It received an F in this category, which is an abysmal score. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 32.489452 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
