Facility Inspections
B-
Historical
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. We are also concerned by the fact that this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
D
Historical
Unfortunately, this facility's next best category is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared somewhat poorly. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 81.456955 percent of its residents against pneumonia. The last datapoint we looked at was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this nursing home had 1.9 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is a higher hospitalization rate than the average nursing home, but it's not quite as bad as we feared it might be.

Nurse Quality
F
Historical
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This place averaged a meager 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. On top of receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found this facility was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic pulled down this nursing home's nursing score substantially.
Short-term Care Quality
F
Historical
The last area we rated is short-term care. We gave it an F for this category, which is an abysmal grade. Short-term care scores are critical for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 26 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
