Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though this nursing home's overall score was rock bottom, it actually didn't perform as badly in nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category. There are several factors included in this category. Many of these criteria are tied to nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We were also stunned to discover that this facility earned a somewhat respectable short-term care grade in our assessment. We awarded it a B- in that category. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is generally a solid measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility only earned a grade of D for its long-term care score, which is well below average in this category. For patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 96.969696 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our final area of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. Since this data is collected by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight negative feedback in this category. With facilities that received this bad of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home was hit with one deficiency on its inspection report. We were relieved to find that it wasn't in one of the categories that suggest that it created a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
