Nurse Quality

Grade: C

While this facility's overall grade was terrible, it actually didn't perform as badly in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it a C for this area. The nursing grade is based on numerous datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. 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. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Incredibly, we awarded this facility a grade of C for our short-term care score, which isn't too bad of a score. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility received a grade of just D in our inspection category. This is well below average grade. One of the most critical factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a risk 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our final category, this facility didn't fare well in this area either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 80.56872 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
