Nurse Quality

Grade: C

While we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we gave it a C for our nursing category. We analyzed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in computing our score in this category. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second highest score was short-term care, but it nevertheless received a grade of just D in that category. This turns out to be a relatively poor score. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. With a score in this range for this area, we were not shocked to learn that this place was below average in two of the key staffing metrics we assess. The nursing home supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. One of the most important factors in evaluating inspection reports is deficiencies. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home had 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we looked at was long-term care. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is a rock bottom grade. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated just 48.192772 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
