Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Even though this facility's overall grade was terrible, it didn't perform quite as poorly in long-term care. In fact, we gave it a C for that category, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to spare its otherwise weak profile. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 95.36424 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. In fact, it received a grade of just D for its inspection grade, which was unfortunately its second best category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. We suggest you scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we want to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines in recent years of more than $50,000. This often means that inspectors became fed up after multiple years of bad health inspections.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. When determining a facility's nursing score, we assess the amount of time nurses are with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we assessed was short-term care, where this nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade in this category as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is definitely somewhat alarming. Short-term care grades are crucial for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Based on its grade in this area, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
