Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B- for our nursing rating. Nursing grades are largely based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We were also stunned to find that this nursing home received a reasonably solid short-term care grade in our assessment. We gave it a grade of C in that area. Our short-term care grades are vital for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to point out that this facility received a lowly F for its inspection grade. An F in this area is particularly troublesome because it usually points to red flags on the facility's government inspection reports. For places with poor inspection grades, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the final area, this nursing home didn't perform well in this category either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated only 66.30435 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
