Short-term Care Quality

Neither this nursing home's overall score nor its category scores gave us much to write home about. Its best category was short-term care, but even there it received a lowly D. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical nursing home. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5.1 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.

Facility Inspections

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. When a place has this bad of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. Tragically, this facility was hit with a category L deficiency. This type of deficiency indicates widespread threats to patient safety or health. This type of deficiency is very damaging to a nursing home's inspection grade. Finally, this facility also received 12 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Sadly, this facility received an F for its long-term care grade. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.65753 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Switching gears to the next category, this facility didn't perform well in this category either. Due to a very poor grade of F in nursing, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. We looked at the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
