Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing score consists of several datapoints, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. For nursing homes with poor inspection scores, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility had 6 deficiencies by CMS. 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 health or safety. Lastly, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines of over $100,000. This usually means that a facility'spoor track record has been an issue for several years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another issue is the F this facility was given in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care grade is generally used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Given its weak rating in this category, we were not stunned to learn this facility provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we looked at is long-term care. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in that category. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 32.95019 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly below average. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
