Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We did not have any favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade or its category grades. This place's best category came in nursing. However, with just a D in this area, it still performed badly. Our nursing category includes quite a few factors, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the category of long-term care, this facility was awarded a grade of just D in that area. Sadly, this ended up being one of its better grades. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 93.5 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection rating where it received a lowly F. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with one deficiency on its inspection report. We were relieved to find that it wasn't in one of the categories that suggest that it caused a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our next area, this facility really didn't perform well in this category either. Due to a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. With a score this poor in this area, we weren't shocked to discover that this place was well below average in multiple staffing figures we assess. It provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.4 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
