Quick Details
Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although this facility's overall score was abysmal, it actually didn't perform terribly in our short-term care rating. We gave it a B- for that category, which is a decent score. That said, this wasn't enough to save its profile. Short-term care grades are often employed to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. When we assessed this place's nursing hours, we found it offered more care from registered nurses than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. It performed better than most nursing homes in this metric with 54.9 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This facility excelled in nursing, where it received an C. Few facilities performed better in this category. Our nursing category analyzes several factors, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home provides an impressive 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Even though this facility excelled in terms of quantity of nursing hours, it lagged a bit in some of the subcategories that focused on quality. This facility's nursing grade was pulled down by poor performance in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers. We found that 13.2 percent of this nursing home's residents experienced pressure ulcers.

Facility Inspections
We wanted to point out this nursing home's inspection grade where it received a lowly F. When a facility has this bad of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This nursing home was hit with one category G through L deficiency, which are among the more severe deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies found by CMS had the potential to pose actual harm to patients. Another area of concern is that 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
The final area we analyzed is long-term care. It received a lowly F in this area, which is an abysmal score. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. This facility's vaccination data were not as impressive as its nursing hours data. This facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to just 86.831276 percent of its residents. We would love to see some improvement in this area next year. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.89 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
