Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we didn't rate this nursing home well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in nursing. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a respectable score in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Our short-term care grades are likely more meaningful for folks needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next most favorable category we awarded this facility in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our long-term care ratings are more important for patients requiring more conventional assistance associated with activities of daily living. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.932816 percent of its residents, which is a very solid figure. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Looking to our last category of inspections, we gave this nursing home a score of just D, which is a relatively poor grade. Our inspection rating is based on the nursing home's inspection reports. Since this information is compiled by independent government inspectors, we place significant weight on it in our overall grades. Our inspection grades weigh many items on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. When you find severe deficiencies on the reports, this is typically the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
