Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Even though we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a decent short-term care rating this year. We gave it a C in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we found for this place. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most meaningful for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in that category. As it turns out, this proved to be one of its better features. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. The nursing grade analyzes several components, however, the main consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This statistic is quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

In our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. For places with poor inspection grades, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused 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.
