Nurse Quality

Although we graded this facility very poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing score this year. We gave it a B- in that category. Our nursing rating considers several datapoints. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility also didn't grade out poorly in the category of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- in that category, which happens to be among its higher grades. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

We were also pleasantly surprised to find that this facility received a solid long-term care score in our assessment. We gave it a C in this category. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 51.21212 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit lower than what we were hoping for. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Turning our last category of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. For facilities with poor inspection scores, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
