Long-term Care Quality
Neither this facility's overall grade nor its category grades gave us much to write home about. Its best category was long-term care, but even there we gave it just a D. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 91.9708 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Nursing scores are mostly tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this facility received just a D in this area. Our short-term care grade is often employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. With a score this poor for this area, we were not stunned to discover this facility was below average in two of the key staffing areas we focus on. The facility supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.4 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
Facility Inspections
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. When a place has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This facility was hit with one deficiency by CMS. We were relieved to find that it wasn't in one of the categories that suggest that it caused a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
