Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

While we didn't give this nursing home a favorable overall score, we actually gave it a strong score in the category of short-term care, where it earned a B. With our short-term care category, we seek to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is mostly based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this nursing home received a lowly F for its inspection rating. This is an important category. Grades in this range typically point to red flags on the facility's inspection reports. For nursing homes with bad inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home had 8 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 patient health or safety. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received significant government fines recently exceeding $50,000. This typically indicates that government inspectors became frustrated after multiple years of bad inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility received a poor grade in this area also. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is definitely very concerning. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 92.92036 percent of its residents. This is slightly below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
