Nurse Quality

Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. Nursing scores are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility's second best area was its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The important question is whether this also affected quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next best category was long-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this category. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

In our last category of inspections, this facility received a horrible grade. With nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection score, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
