Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We were not able to award this place any respectable scores. We wanted to note that we gave it an F for its inspection rating. An F in this area is particularly troublesome because it usually points to red flags on the facility's inspections. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular facility was hit with 6 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they caused a threat to resident 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to note that this facility was given an F for its short-term care score. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Considering its grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the data we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents 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 subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. When determining a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we scored is long-term care. We gave it an F for this area, which is a poor score. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 92.4 percent of its patients. This is somewhat less than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
