Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home did not receive any favorable grades. In particular, we gave it an F in the category of long-term care. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.55556 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection score. We would pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Tragically, this facility received an F for its short-term care score. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Given its score in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded is nursing. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is an abysmal grade. Our nursing grade analyzes many factors, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averaged just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these data points to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
