Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Although this facility's overall grade was abysmal, it didn't perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a C for that area, which isn't bad. This wasn't enough to salvage its otherwise poor profile. Our long-term care ratings are more important for those requiring more traditional assistance associated with personal care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 86.09271 percent of its residents. This is many points below the national average. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This facility's second best category was inspections, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a very poor grade. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing grade analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. With only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we rated is short-term care, was this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that area. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
