Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We really couldn't find anything favorable to say about this nursing home. It received a just D in the area of nursing. Unfortunately, this ended up being its best grade. We assessed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with residents, in calculating our rating in this area. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best category was inspections. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still fared relatively poorly. Inspection grades factor in many items found on the facility's recent inspection reports. When you see too many deficiencies on the reports, this is generally the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This facility had 9 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another issue was the F this nursing home received in the category of long-term care. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes offer. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 85.917496 percent of its patients, which is somewhat concerning. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we graded is short-term care. This facility received a poor grade of F in this category. Short-term care scores are crucial for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a score in this range for this category, we were not surprised to learn this nursing home was below average in many staffing figures we looked at. It supplied far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
