Quick Details
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
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. When computing a facility's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This place provides 4.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is better than average. In determining our ratings, we apply more weight to hours performed by more highly skilled nurses such as registered nurses. Lastly, this place was relatively weak in two of the major datapoints we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't grade out poorly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which ended up being among its better scores. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to discover that this facility received a reasonably solid long-term care score in our assessment. We awarded it a C in that area. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. This nursing home's vaccination records weren't as strong as its number of nursing hours per resident. This nursing home gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 76.548676 percent of its residents. We'd love to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. While it had 2.39 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was more favorable.
Facility Inspections
In our last area of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. Since this information is compiled by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight negative feedback in this category. When a place has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular nursing home had 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to patient safety or health. 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.
