Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall score, we gave it a B- for our nursing rating. Nursing ratings are mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home was given an F for its short-term care grade. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Given its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection score where it received an F. For nursing homes with bad inspection scores, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to resident 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we rated was long-term care. This facility received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this area. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 97.402596 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
