Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing rating this year. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is a very low figure. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this statistic. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning residents at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Surprisingly, we gave this facility a grade of B- for its short-term care score, which is not too bad of a score. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the category of long-term care, this facility received just a D in that category. Facilities that do not fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 59.940655 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our final category of inspections, this nursing home received an F in this area. Since this information is compiled by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight poor results in this area. For places with bad inspection grades, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility was hit with 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
