Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We were not high on this facility's overall score or its category grades. We gave it a D for our short-term care score and that proved be its highest grade. With our short-term care grade, we try to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average nursing home. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out this facility's inspection grade where it received an F. This typically means we found some major red flags on its inspection reports. For facilities with poor inspection grades, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility was hit with 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines in recent years in excess of $50,000. This generally signifies that government inspectors became fed up after several years of bad inspections.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. The nursing grade weighs a handful of datapoints, however, the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we looked at was long-term care. It received an F for this category, which is a rock bottom score. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 77.5641 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit below average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
