Although this facility's overall score was rock bottom, it actually didn't perform as badly in nursing. We awarded it a B- for this category. Our nursing score is primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing scores also include quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed above average in this area. This is generally a good indicator of how carefully a facility's nursing staff is tending to its patients. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and superior safety protocols are used.
Short-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we awarded this nursing home a B- for our short-term care score, which really isn't too bad of a score. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable score is long-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a well below average grade. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 98.453606 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also wasn't as bad as we expected at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Although it had 1.95 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score wasn't bad since it had some more complex patients.
Facility Inspections
The final category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home did not receive positive government inspections in recent years. As a result, we had to give it an F in this category. For places that received this poor of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This nursing home had 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
