Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We just couldn't find anything favorable to say about this facility. It received a grade of just just D in the area of nursing. Unfortunately, this is its best score. There are a host of criteria within this grade. Many of the datapoints relate to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was awarded a grade of just D in this area. Sadly, this ended up being its second best grade. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is generally a reliable assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. Considering its score in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this place is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.2 percent of its residents returning home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Unfortunately, with a grade of D in the inspection category, this facility performed relatively poorly in that area. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. You should be especially cautious when considering a nursing home with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular facility was hit with multiple deficiencies in categories G through L, which are among the more severe deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies found by CMS had the potential to create actual harm to patients. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines recently of over $100,000. This generally suggests that a facility's poor track record has been an issue for several years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we scored is long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is a very poor grade. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.79518 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
