Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

On top of receiving a poor overall grade, we also gave this place poor scores in our categories. It received just a D for its short-term care grade, which was its highest category. In our short-term care grade, we try to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this place offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical nursing home. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.7 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility's second best category was inspections, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Our inspection ratings factor in many items found on the facility's inspection reports. When you see too many deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is typically a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we need to point out that this place received large government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This usually means that a nursing home'spoor track record spanned multiple years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. The nursing rating assesses many datapoints, but the paramount one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we assessed is long-term care. It received a lowly F in this area, which is a rock bottom score. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 99.55556 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
