Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility also didn't grade out too badly in the category of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for that area, which wound up being another one of its more favorable grades. Our long-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's amount of nursing services. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 54.824562 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be significantly lower than what we were hoping for. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. The nursing score analyzes several factors, but the primary one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the last area, this nursing home really did not perform very well in this area either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care grades are likely more critical for residents requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this facility provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.
