Short-term Care Quality

While this facility's overall score was abysmal, it didn't perform terribly in our short-term care category. We awarded it a C for that category, which is a decent score. Unfortunately, this was not enough to spare its overall profile. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality

We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality

We awarded this facility just a D for our long-term care grade. This is well below average in this category. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinates 99.47507 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Moving on the final category of inspections, this facility had an abysmal showing. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection category. For places with poor inspection grades, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 9 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
