Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

On top of receiving a poor overall score, we also gave this nursing home weak grades in our categories. In fact, it received a D for its short-term care grade, which was its best grade. In determining these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. With its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility's second best category was inspections, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. One of the more important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility wound up receiving a rock-bottom grade in our long-term care category. It received an F in this area. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.13376 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to the final area, this nursing home didn't fare well in this category either. Due to a very poor grade of F in nursing, this is really as terrible as it gets. Our nursing grade is based on quite a few components, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
