Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall grade, we gave it a B- for our nursing rating. We weighed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Interestingly, this facility's terrible overall score can't really be attributed to its inspection reports. We gave it a grade of C for inspections. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. To our surprise, this nursing home was assessed a category J through K deficiency, which are some of the worst deficiencies. This often indicates that the government inspectors uncovered a deficiency which places patient safety or health in immediate danger. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care rating, which is well below average in this category. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we graded is long-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After considering the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 18.783068 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
