Nurse Quality

Grade: C

While we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our nursing category. Nursing grades are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This place provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility's next highest category is short-term care. However, with a D in this category, it still fared somewhat poorly. Short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its poor rating in this area, we weren't stunned to discover this nursing home offers substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

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. For facilities with bad inspection grades, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This particular facility was hit with 7 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we assessed is long-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that area. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 54.926826 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
