Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care grade this year. We gave it a C in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we can find for this facility. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more important for residents requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Our nursing rating is largely associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to point out this nursing home's inspection grade where it received a lowly F. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received large government fines recently exceeding $50,000. This usually suggests that government inspectors became fed up after multiple years of failed inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we looked at is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a poor score in this area also. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 80.72289 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
