Quick Details
Registered Staff Hours
Short-term Care Quality
Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable short-term care score this year. We gave it a B- in that category. Our short-term care scores are critical for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. Our nursing rating features numerous factors. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric.

Long-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed was long-term care, where this nursing home was given an F. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 94.76744 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
Turning our last area of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. For places with bad inspection scores, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This facility had 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
