Facility Inspections

Grade: F

This facility's scores were horrible across the board. We especially wanted to point out its inspection grade where we gave it an F. This isn't a good sign for its inspection reports. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we want to point out that this nursing home was assessed large government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This usually suggests that a poor performance has been an issue for more than one year.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care score. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility provided the vaccine to only 57.64706 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its short-term care score. Short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this place offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we looked at is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a rock bottom grade. The nursing score includes several data points. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility provided a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Unfortunately, this place also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
