Nurse Quality

Grade: D

On top of receiving a poor overall grade, we also gave this facility weak scores across the board in our category grades. It received just a D for its nursing score, which proved to be its best category. Our nursing score is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is slightly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. When a facility has this poor of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility was assessed 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to resident 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

This facility wound up receiving a an abysmal score in our short-term care category. It was given an F in this area. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. With its grade in this category, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.9 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to the fourth category, this nursing home really didn't fare well here either. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.21466 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
