Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a better long-term care grade this year. We gave it a C in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we can find for this facility. In calculating these long-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's personal care services. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 99.54128 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second most favorable category is short-term care, but it still earned just a D in that category. This turns out to be a well below average score. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Considering its grade in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were stunned to find that this facility also excelled in nursing. In fact, we awarded it an D for that category, which is one of our highest scores. The nursing grade includes several subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

In the final category of inspections, this facility had an abysmal showing. It received an F in our inspection rating. This happens to be the most heavily weighted category in our grading system. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home had 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed large government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This typically indicates that a poor track record has been an issue for multiple years.
