Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating analyzes quite a few components, however, the main consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility also didn't grade out poorly in the category of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a C in that category, which is among its more favorable grades. With our short-term care category, we seek to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The important question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This nursing home's terrible overall grade probably can't be attributed to its government inspections. We gave it a C for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This nursing home had 7 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This tells you inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to present an imminent danger to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our last category, this facility didn't fare well in this category either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.05825 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
