Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in nursing. We gave it a B- for that category. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road grade in this area. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more important for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The critical question is whether this also affected quality of care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities next most favorable area was long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road grade in this category. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated just 76.5743 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

In the last category of inspections, this facility had an abysmal showing. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection rating. With places that received this bad of an inspection score, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a risk to patient safety or health. 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.
