Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it earned a more respectable long-term care score this year. We gave it a C in that category, which is the closest thing to a bright spot we were able to find for this place. In our long-term care rating, we weigh the quantity of care offered by a nursing home, as well as a few qualitative metrics. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.12664 percent of its patients. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Our nursing grade is mostly based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of short-term care, this facility was given just a D in this category. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our last category of inspections, this nursing home received a horrible grade. For places that received this bad of an inspection score, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility had 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 12 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
