Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Incredibly, we gave this nursing home a B- for its long-term care grade, which is not a bad grade. In the area of long-term care, we assess the amount of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated only 88.13097 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility's next best score was short-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. Short-term care scores are vital for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Given its score in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final area we scored is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is a poor grade. There are a number of factors included in this category. Most of the data points reflect levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home averaged a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This statistic is quite a bit below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
