Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B- for short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home excelled in nursing, where it earned an D. Our nursing grade analyzes several datapoints, but the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. In fact, it only received a grade of D for its inspection grade. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had one deficiency by government inspectors. Fortunately, it wasn't in a category that suggests that it caused a risk 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we rated is long-term care, where this nursing home received an abysmal grade here also. It received an F for this category, which is obviously a major concern. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 83.77581 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
