Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. We looked at the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in computing our rating in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Surprisingly, we awarded this facility a B- for our short-term care score, which is not too bad of a score. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is generally a useful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility also didn't grade out too badly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that area, which ended up being among its better scores. In the area of long-term care, we analyze the amount of care offered by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.760765 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Turning the final category of inspections, this ended up being this facility's weakest link. Inspection grades are based on a nursing home's recent government inspections. We gave this nursing home a D in this category, which is a very weak grade. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. Generally, you should be especially cautious when considering a facility that has severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies by CMS. 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 safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
