Facility Inspections
B-
Historical
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. 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.
Short-term Care Quality
C
Historical
Incredibly, we gave this nursing home a C for our short-term care grade, which isn't a bad grade. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is generally a meaningful measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. This place fared better than most nursing homes in this metric with 50.9 percent of its patients returning home. With most facilities, fewer than half of their short-stay residents are able to return home.

Nurse Quality
D
Historical
We were surprised to find that this facility also excelled in the category of nursing. We awarded it a grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest grades. Nursing scores are largely associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
D
Historical
This nursing home's worst area was long-term care, which is the last category we scored. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.76581 percent of its residents, which is better than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.83 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic wasn't bad due to it having some more complex patients.
