Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although this facility's overall score was as bad as it gets, it didn't perform terribly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is a decent score. That said, this wasn't enough to spare its otherwise poor profile. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last item we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this facility earned really poor government inspection reports in recent years, causing us to give them an F for inspections. An F in this category is usually a signal that we found some major red flags on its government inspection reports. For places with poor inspection scores, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This particular facility had 6 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to resident 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its long-term care grade. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last category we scored is nursing, in which this nursing home was given an abysmal grade here also. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is obviously a major concern. There are several data points included in this grade. Many of these subcategories reflect staffing levels. This particular place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
