Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform as poorly in the area of nursing. We gave it a B- for this category. Nursing grades are primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We were also surprised to learn that this facility earned a decent short-term care rating in our assessment. We gave it a B- in this category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is considered to be a solid measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

This nursing home received really poor inspections in recent years, causing us to give them an F in our inspection category. An F in this category is usually a sign that we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This nursing home was hit with 7 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we scored is long-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility gave the vaccine to just 70.169495 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
