Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facilities grades were terrible across the board. In particular, we wanted to draw your attention to its poor nursing grade where it received an F. In determining our nursing scores, we assess both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection rating. Typically, this means we found some red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. For facilities with bad inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to patient safety or health. 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 concern was the F this facility was given in the area of short-term care. In crafting these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Considering its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we assessed is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a poor grade. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated just 41.923077 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
