Nurse Quality

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. The nursing grade is based on a variety of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility also didn't perform too badly in the category of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- in that category, which happens to be another one of its higher scores. Our short-term care ratings are important for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Facility Inspections

Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. Our inspection grades weigh many items on the facility's inspection reports. When you see severe deficiencies on the reports, this is generally the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Long-term Care Quality

The last area we assessed is long-term care. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in that category. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility provided the vaccine to only 82.608696 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
