Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. Our nursing score includes numerous subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility also didn't grade out too badly in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we gave it a B- in that area, which wound up being among its more favorable scores. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more critical for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of 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 metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this also affected quality of care. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a risk to patient health or safety. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we rated is long-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in this area. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 89.38357 percent of its patients. This is significantly below what we expected. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
