Facility Inspections

Grade: D

We could not find anything good to say about this place. It received a D in the area of inspections. Unfortunately, this turned out to be its best score. One of the most important factors in evaluating inspection reports is deficiencies. We would scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was hit with a deficiency on its inspection report. We were relieved to find that it was not in one of the categories that suggest that it caused a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we want to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines in recent years totaling more than $100,000. This usually suggests that a nursing home's poor performance spanned multiple years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's unfortunate long-term care score where it was given an F. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 86.9403 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is several points lower than average. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility wound up receiving a an abysmal grade in our short-term care category. It was given a lowly F in this area. Short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.4 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded is nursing. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in that category. In calculating a facility's nursing score, we assess the number of hours nurses are with patients as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these statistics pulled down this facility's nursing grade significantly.
