Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for our nursing rating. This grade is more respectable than the facility's overall score. Our nursing grade is based on quite a few components, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility averages just 0.6 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The second most favorable category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third best category is long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this category. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 98.397865 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning to our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. We weight this category more heavily than our other categories. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We would scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. Amazingly, this particular nursing didn't have any deficiencies on its inspection report. Clearly, this was not the area dragging down its inspection grade. 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.
