Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade is based on quite a few datapoints, but the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care score and that actually turned out to be its next most favorable category. In forming our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. With its grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second worse category is long-term care, where it earned just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on our last category of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. Since this information is compiled by government inspectors, we heavily weight negative feedback in this area. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had a category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst categories of deficiencies. These categories mean that inspectors uncovered a deficiency which places patient safety or health in immediate jeopardy. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This generally means that a facility's bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
