Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a poor overall score, we actually gave it a fairly respectable grade in nursing, where it received a B-. This was at least better than its other category grades. Nursing scores are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's short-term care grade turns out to be one of its best grades. The facility was awarded a B- in this area. With our short-term care rating, we strive to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best area was its long-term care grade, where it was given a C. Our long-term care scores are based in part on a facility's amount of nursing services. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 90.37267 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it a grade of just just D in this category. Inspection grades relate to a facility's government inspections. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident 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.
