Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We didn't have any favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall grade or its category grades. Its best category was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed poorly. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated only 72.59036 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection score. We would scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received large government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This usually signifies that a bad performance spanned multiple years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. When computing our nursing grades, we look at both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we graded was short-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that area. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average nursing home. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 2.9 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
