Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to present an imminent risk to resident health or safety. 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: D

This facility's second most respectable category is long-term care, but it still earned a grade of just D in that category. This turns out to be a relatively poor score. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 95.19451 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another issue is the F this nursing home was given in the category of short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. With its poor grade in this area, we were not shocked to find this place offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we assessed is nursing. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is a rock bottom score. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the amount of time nurses commit to patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided only 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
