Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our nursing rating. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. 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. Lastly, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We were also pleasantly surprised to discover that this nursing home earned a decent short-term care score in our assessment. We gave it a grade of C in this category. Short-term care grades are vital for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this nursing home just a D for our long-term care grade. This is well below average in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated only 60.42654 percent of its residents, which is several points lower than we expected. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection grade. We gave it just a just D in this category. Inspection ratings relate to a nursing home's inspections. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. Generally, you should be especially cautious when considering a nursing home with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
