Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is far below average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the area of short-term care, this facility was given a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being its second best grade. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Considering its poor rating in this category, we were not shocked to learn that this nursing home offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.4 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only earned a D for its long-term care rating, which is not a score to write home about. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 59.590794 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning the last category of inspections, this nursing home fared very poorly. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection rating. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We would scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we also need to point out that this place was assessed large government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This usually indicates that a nursing home's bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.
