Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Neither this nursing home's overall grade nor its category scores gave us anything positive to point out. Its best category was short-term care, but even there it received just a D. This is still a weak grade. With our short-term care grade, we seek to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to point out this facility's inspection score where it received a lowly F. This often means we found red flags on the government inspections. For facilities that received this bad of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded is long-term care. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is an abysmal score. For patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
