Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we gave it a B- for our nursing rating. We looked at the licensure of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We were also surprised to learn that this nursing home received a somewhat respectable short-term care grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. Short-term care grades are often used to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we considered in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

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. When a facility has this bad of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This facility had multiple category G through L deficiencies, which rank among the more severe deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had the potential to cause actual harm to residents. In addition to having severe deficiencies, 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the next area, this facility did not perform well here either. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. When facilities receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated just 62.33766 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
