Facility Inspections
B-
Historical
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
D
Historical
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an D. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This particular nursing home provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. This facility also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This place was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this area. This is likely a bad sign in light of the fact that so many pressure ulcers could be avoided with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.

Long-term Care Quality
F
Historical
In our next category, we gave this facility an F in the category of long-term care. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated just 59.346405 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this place had 2.09 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, this figure is also a cause for concern.
Short-term Care Quality
F
Historical
Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home didn't perform very well in this area either. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. In this facility's case, we found that it offered less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 29.4 percent of its residents returning home.
