Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Neither this facility'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 a grade of just D. In computing our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is frequently a fair assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Based on its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the data we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of D. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This facility averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this place received a lowly F for its inspection score. This is a very important category. Scores in this range usually mean we found some red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. For places with bad inspection scores, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by inspectors had the potential to cause actual harm to patients. Finally, we want to point out that this facility was assessed significant government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This generally signifies that a nursing home's poor track record spanned multiple years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we scored is long-term care. It received a lowly F in this category, which is an abysmal score. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 38.367348 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
