Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Even though we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable short-term care grade this year. We gave it a C in that area. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's inspection score where it received a lowly F. This usually means we found some red flags on its inspection reports. With nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home had multiple category G through L deficiencies, which rank among the more severe deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by the government inspectors had potential to create actual harm to patients. Another red flag is that CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. The nursing score weighs a number of subcategories. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we rated was long-term care. This nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 87.22628 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
