Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our nursing rating. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to point out that this facility received an F for its inspection score. An F in this category is especiallY troublesome because it usually points to red flags on the facility's inspection reports. For places with bad inspection grades, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received significant government fines amounting to over $100,000. This generally signifies that a facility'spoor track record spanned multiple years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the category of short-term care. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. With a score this poor in this category, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in many staffing areas we focus on. The facility provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we looked at is long-term care. This nursing home was given an abysmal grade of F in this area. Long-term care scores of this caliber 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. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 32.485874 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
