Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Unfortunately, we didn't have any favorable things to write about this facility's overall grade or its other ratings. Its best category is the area of inspections. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still performed badly. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also need to point out that this place received significant government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This typically means that a bad track record spanned more than one year.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to note that this facility was given an F for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities provide. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 31.794872 percent of its residents. This is significantly lower than what we expected. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing grade analyzes a handful of components, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we looked at was short-term care. It received an F in this area, which is a very poor score. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
