Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Although this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled at short-term care. We gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. This grade kept this facility from receiving an even worse overall grade. In forming these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Our nursing score is largely tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility's next best score is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat badly. Facilities that don't score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 84.27419 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The final category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home didn't receive glowing government inspections in recent years. Consequently, we had to give it an F in this category. When a facility has this poor of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This nursing home was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we would like to point out that this nursing home was assessed large government fines in recent years of more than $100,000. This generally signifies that a nursing home's poor performance has been an issue for several years.
