Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

In addition to receiving a poor overall score, we also gave this nursing home poor scores across the board in the various categories. It only received a D for its long-term care score, which was its best area. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.92899 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Nursing scores are largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this nursing home received a lowly F for its inspection grade. This is a very important category. Scores in this range generally mean we found red flags on the nursing home's government inspection reports. With facilities that received this poor of an inspection grade, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was assessed 6 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we scored was short-term care. This nursing home received a rock bottom grade of F in that category. In determining our short-term care scores, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is considered to be a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. With its weak grade in this category, we weren't surprised to learn this place provides significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
