Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facilities grades were terrible across the board. In particular, we wanted to draw your attention to its poor long-term care grade where it received an F. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility provided the vaccine to only 31.050228 percent of its residents, which is somewhat concerning. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection rating where it received an F. This usually means we found some red flags on its inspection reports. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We recommend you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. There are a number of subcategories included in this grade. Many of these subcategories reflect levels of nurse staffing. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we graded is short-term care. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is a rock bottom score. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.8 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
