Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom scores in our assessment. Perhaps most alarmingly, it received an F for its long-term care grade. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 96.438354 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

This nursing home earned really poor inspection reports in recent years, causing us to give them an F for inspections. An F in this category is usually a signal that we found some red flags on its inspection reports. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection grade. We would scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. Our nursing grade is based on several datapoints, however, the main one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we assessed is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade in this area as well. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is typically a reliable assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this place offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical nursing home. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.5 percent of its residents returning home.
