Nurse Quality

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our nursing rating. When determining our nursing scores, we analyze both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 2.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Remarkably, we awarded this facility a grade of C for its short-term care score, which really isn't too bad of a score. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. It performed much better in this area. We found it was above average in this area with 54.9 percent of its patients returning home.

Facility Inspections

This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. In fact, it only received a grade of D for its inspection grade. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we also would like to point out that this nursing home received large government fines recently of more than $50,000. This usually means that CMS inspectors became fed up after multiple years of bad government inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

The final category we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home was given an abysmal grade of F in this area. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal 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 residents. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 94.4206 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place also was not as bad as we expected at keeping its patients out of the hospital. While it had 2.18 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was not bad since it had more complex patients.
