Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing rating of B-. The nursing rating includes a handful of components, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 5.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third best category was long-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this category. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's personal care instead of the skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 98.333336 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on our last area of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. Since this information is compiled by government inspectors, we heavily weight poor results in this category. For facilities with bad inspection grades, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed a category J through K deficiency, which rank among the worst deficiencies. This generally means that inspectors uncovered a deficiency which places patient safety or health in immediate jeopardy. 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.
