Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Neither this place's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to highlight here. Its best category was long-term care, but even there it received just a D. 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 aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated a relatively low 56.3786 percent of its residents, which is somewhat alarming. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility's second best category was inspections, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. You should be most cautious when considering a nursing home with severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This nursing home was assessed 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, we also need to point out that this facility received large government fines in recent years exceeding $50,000. This usually indicates that government inspectors became fed up after several years of failed inspections.

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 score is based on quite a few components, however, the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided a meager 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we assessed was short-term care, ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. Our short-term care ratings are vital for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
