Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Even though we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall grade, we gave it a C for our nursing rating. When computing our nursing ratings, we look at both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Interestingly, this facility's terrible overall grade can't really be attributed to its inspection reports. We gave it a C for our inspections category. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means that it dodged the more serious classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's third best score is long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat badly. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.10426 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we graded is short-term care, proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. In calculating our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Considering its poor score in this area, we weren't stunned to find this nursing home provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
