Long-term Care Quality

While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B- for our long-term care rating. Long-term care grades are used to gauge a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

We also awarded this facility a grade of C for our nursing rating. Our nursing score is largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility's third highest area ended up being its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of C. In our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Facility Inspections

The final category we assessed was inspections. This facility didn't receive favorable government inspection reports in recent years. As a result, we had to give it an F in this category. For facilities that received this poor of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility had 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, 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.
