Short-term Care Quality

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our short-term care rating. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an D. Nursing grades are primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Facility Inspections

Unfortunately, this place received a lowly F for its inspection score. When a facility has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This facility was hit with one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by CMS had potential to pose actual harm to patients. Another area of concern is that 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.

Long-term Care Quality

The next category we looked at was long-term care. This facility was given a poor grade of F in that area. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 98.4 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable datapoint. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
