Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

While this nursing home's overall grade was abysmal, it actually didn't perform terribly in short-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of C for that category, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to salvage its profile. Our short-term care grades are arguably more important for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This facility really didn't perform terribly in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category. Other aspects of its profile were the source of this facility's abysmal overall grade. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This place had 7 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. When determining our nursing ratings, we look at both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home really didn't fare well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to only 32.24756 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
