Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Even though we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable short-term care grade this year. We gave it a C in that area. Short-term care grades are typically used to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home really excelled in our nursing category, where it earned an D. Nursing grades are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This place offered a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection rating. Generally, this indicates we found some red flags on the nursing home's inspections. With nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection score, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we also need to point out that this nursing home received significant government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This typically indicates that a facility's poor performance spanned more than one year.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we analyzed is long-term care. This facility was given a very poor grade of F in this category. For patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 94.347824 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
