Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

While we gave this facility an abysmal overall score, we gave it a C for our long-term care rating. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 88.14317 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit below what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

As it turns out, its government inspection reports were not the source of this facility's abysmal overall grade. In fact, it received a C in this category. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. 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, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. There are numerous criteria included in this grade. Many of the factors are tied to nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we scored was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a poor score in this category also. Sadly, it received an F for this category, which is definitely a major disappointment. Our short-term care ratings are probably more important for individuals requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. With a grade of this caliber in this category, we weren't shocked to discover that this place was below average in several staffing areas we assess. It supplied far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
