Nurse Quality
B-
Historical
Even though this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform as poorly in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it a B- for that category. The nursing grade analyzes a handful of subcategories, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed admirably in this area.
Facility Inspections
C
Historical
Interestingly, this facility's abysmal overall grade can't really be attributed to its government inspection reports. We awarded it a C for our inspections category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This nursing home was hit with 7 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This means that this facility avoided the more significant categories of deficiencies. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Short-term Care Quality
D
Historical
We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care rating. This is not an impressive grade. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more important for folks needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its grade in this area, we were not shocked to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse hours provided to its residents. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 24.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
F
Historical
The last category we graded is long-term care, where this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade in this category also. Sadly, it received an F for this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 55.592106 percent of its patients against pneumonia. We were also disappointed with the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 3.09 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is nearly twice the national average.
