Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. When determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's short-term care rating turns out to be one of its higher features. The facility was awarded a B- in this area. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more critical for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for people in need of more traditional assistance associated with personal care. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 97.402596 percent of its residents. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning the final category of inspections, this facility had an abysmal showing. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection rating. This is the most heavily weighted category in our overall scoring system. When a place has this bad of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created 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.
