Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Even though this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform quite as poorly in long-term care. In fact, we gave it a C for that category, which isn't bad. This was not enough to spare its otherwise poor profile. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 91.75824 percent of its residents. This is a few points less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. Our nursing score is primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. One of the more critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We would scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was given an abysmal grade in this area as well. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is definitely very concerning. Short-term care ratings are critical for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Considering its abysmal grade in this area, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
