Facility Inspections

Grade: D

We just couldn't find anything positive to say about this nursing home. It received just a D in the category of inspections. Sadly, this ended up being its best score. One of the more significant factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was assessed one category J through K deficiency, which are among the worst deficiencies. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines in excess of $50,000. This typically means that inspectors became frustrated after multiple years of bad inspections.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Tragically, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care grade. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit alarmed this facility administered the vaccine to only 34.686348 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we assessed is short-term care. This nursing home received a very poor grade of F in this area. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its score in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the data we looked at. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this facility's short-term care score.
