Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Even though we graded this facility very poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing score this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Our nursing score consists of several components, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We were also stunned to learn that this facility received a somewhat respectable short-term care rating in our assessment. We gave it a grade of C in that area. Short-term care grades are crucial for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. Generally, you should be more cautious when considering a nursing home with severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This nursing home had 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 14 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we scored was long-term care, which was a low point for this facility. We awarded this facility a D for our long-term care category. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated only 68.023254 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
