Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our long-term care rating. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its inspection grade. This is a particularly important category. Grades in this range generally point to some red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. With places that received this poor of an inspection rating, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home was hit with 7 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received large government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This generally signifies that a poor performance spanned multiple years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our fourth category, this nursing home really didn't perform well in this category either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. Our short-term care ratings are probably more critical for residents in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
