Facility Inspections

Grade: D

We really were not high on this facility's overall score or its category ratings. We gave it just a D for inspections and that actually proved to be its best grade. Our inspection grades weigh many items on the nursing home's inspection reports. If you find too many deficiencies on the reports, this is generally a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to patient safety or health. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this facility only received a D for its short-term care score, which turns out to be one of its more respectable category scores. Our short-term care scores are crucial for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types 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 patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Additionally, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of long-term care. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 76.49254 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the final category, this facility really did not perform well here either. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is really as bad as it gets. Nursing grades are based largely on nurse staffing levels. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below average. To pair with its below average total nursing hours per patient, this facility had really poor marks in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percentage of residents sustaining falls which led to serious injury. This facility was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
