Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We really couldn't find anything good to say about this place. It received just a D in the area of long-term care. Nursing homes that do not score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 93.33333 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.

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. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection grade. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another issue was the F this facility was given in the area of short-term care. In forming our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the last area, this facility really didn't perform very well in this area either. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these metrics hurt this facility's nursing rating significantly.
