Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B for our short-term care rating. Our short-term care grades are arguably most critical for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This facility performed well in inspections also. In fact, we awarded it a B- for this category, which is a fairly impressive score. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. We looked at the licensure of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with patients, in determining our rating in this category. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we looked at is long-term care. This facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that category. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the data points we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
