Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we gave it a B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing score analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this statistic. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning a patient more often.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of long-term care, this facility was awarded just a D in that category. Unfortunately, this proved to be one of its best areas. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this facility vaccinated only 68.656715 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is well below average in this category. Short-term care grades are important for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a grade in this range for this category, we weren't surprised to discover this place was below average in many staffing figures we assess. The facility supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our last category of inspections, this facility received an F here. For facilities with poor inspection grades, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home had 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we would like to point out that this facility received significant government fines in recent years in excess of $50,000. This typically signifies that CMS inspectors grew tired after multiple years of failed health inspections.
