Facility Inspections

Grade: D

We really were not high on this facility's overall grade or its category grades. We gave it a D for inspections and that turned out to be its best grade. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. You should be most cautious when considering a facility that has severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. When computing our nursing grades, we weigh both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care score. This is not a very good score. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 93.0303 percent of its residents. This is a bit less than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's least impressive area was short-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of D. Short-term care grades are typically employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this facility offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average nursing home. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.1 percent of its residents returning home.
