Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a somewhat respectable nursing score this year. We gave it a B- in that area. Nursing grades are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our long-term care grade and that actually ended up being its next most favorable score. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. After we finished assessing the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated only 27.857141 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its short-term care score, which is not a very good score. Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning to our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. We weight this category more heavily than our other categories. When a facility has this bad of an inspection grade, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular facility was assessed 9 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received large government fines amounting to more than $100,000. This generally indicates that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.
