Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall score or its category scores. This place's best category came in nursing. However, with a D in this category, it still performed poorly. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This place provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's next most respectable score was long-term care, but it still received a grade of just D in that area. This still happens to be a relatively poor score. Nursing homes that do not score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 91.53605 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a bit below what we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents 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.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to point out this facility's inspection score where it received an F. This often means we found some red flags on its inspections. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to patient health or safety. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we assessed was short-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is a poor grade. Our short-term care scores are considered to be more important for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Considering its poor score in this area, we were not stunned to discover this place offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.9 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
