Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing rating. When determining a facility's nursing grade, we consider the amount of time nurses commit to residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home also didn't fare too badly in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a C in that area, which wound up being another one of its better scores. Long-term care grades are crucial for individuals requiring personal care. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to draw your attention to this place's inspection score where it received an F. This usually means we found some red flags on the government inspections. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection score. We suggest you scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility was hit with a deficiency by CMS. We were relieved to find that it wasn't in a category that suggests that it posed a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, we also want to point out that this place received large government fines in recent years of more than $100,000. This usually means that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we analyzed was short-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in that area. In our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With its grade in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4 percent of its patients returning home.
