Nurse Quality
B-
Historical
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a somewhat respectable nursing score this year. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. Our nursing score assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. According to CMS records, this place averaged 4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Keep in mind that when we calculate our nursing scores, we apply more weight to hours performed by nurses with a higher level of training. Lastly, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This place was relatively weak in two of the major areas we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are typically reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
C
Historical
This nursing home also didn't fare too badly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a C for that area, which wound up being among its more respectable grades. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. When we assessed this facility's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 22.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this facility is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
C
Historical
Surprisingly, we gave this facility a C for its long-term care score, which isn't a bad grade. With our long-term care grade, we weigh the quantity of services offered by a facility, along with some qualitative metrics. This nursing home's vaccination records lagged a bit behind some of its other datapoints in this category, such as its nursing hours. It administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 77.10438 percent of its patients. We'd like to see some improvement in this area in the future. Finally, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. This nursing home did not excel here either, with 5.51 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this statistic can be skewed for some nursing homes due to the medical complexity of residents.
Facility Inspections
F
Historical
In our final area of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. Since this data is compiled by government inspectors, we heavily weight negative feedback in this area. When a place has this bad of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular facility was assessed 8 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to patient 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.
