Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Neither this nursing home's overall score nor its category grades gave us anything to write home about. This place's best category was nursing, but even there it received just a D. The nursing grade weighs several datapoints, most of which are based on nursing hours. This particular place provided 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is not great. In addition to its weak nursing hours, this place earned suboptimal marks in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this place's patients experienced falls leading to serious injury.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next most favorable category is long-term care, but even there it earned just a D in that area. This turns out to be a well below average grade. Nursing homes 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 provide. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.44385 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, we were stunned by the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this nursing home fared very poorly with 3.68 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, this statistic is more than twice the national average.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another concern is the F this facility was given in the area of short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 44.9 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on our final category of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. Since this data is collected by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight poor results in this area. When a place has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular facility was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more severe categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had potential to pose actual harm to patients. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines of over $100,000. This generally suggests that a nursing home's poor track record spanned multiple years.
