Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Neither this place's overall score nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best area was short-term care, but even there it received a lowly D. This is still a weak grade. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in this area. Unfortunately, this wound up being one of its better features. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 95.43147 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to point out that this nursing home received a lowly F for its inspection grade. An F in this area is particularly troublesome because it usually points to red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. For nursing homes with bad inspection ratings, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 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 risk to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we analyzed is nursing. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is a very poor grade. Nursing scores are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
