Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall score, we awarded it a B- for our nursing category. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that this nursing home earned a reasonably solid short-term care score in our assessment. We awarded it a B- in that area. Short-term care grades are often employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This facility didn't perform horribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category. Other categories turned out to be the source of this facility's rock bottom overall grade. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded is long-term care. This nursing home received an abysmal grade of F in that category. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated a relatively low 90.118576 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
