Registered Staff Hours
Facility Inspections
While we didn't give this facility a good overall score, we did give it a relatively strong grade in the area of inspections, where it received a B+. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its second best category score in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this area, which is a decent grade. Long-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of care. This includes a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 89.684814 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is quite a bit lower than what we were hoping for. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care grade, which is not an impressive grade. Short-term care grades are vital for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score in this range in this area, we weren't shocked to find that this nursing home was below average in several staffing metrics we assess. The nursing home offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at was nursing, in which this nursing home was given a very poor score here as well. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is definitely very concerning. The nursing rating weighs a handful of subcategories, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This statistic is significantly below the national average. In addition to its below average nursing hour totals, this facility also received poor marks in several of the quality-based metrics we considered in computing our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's residents sustained falls leading to serious injury. We would argue that many falls could be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this facility receiving a terrible nursing grade.
