We gave this facility an overall grade of D. A score in this range typically suggests some red flags. Based on our assessment, we would be very reluctant to recommend this nursing home. The only positive thing we can say about this facility is that it didn't receive any F's in in any of the major categories. Additional information about these categories is available below.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though this facility's overall score wasn't a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in nursing. We awarded it a B- for that category. Our nursing grade is primarily tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, although this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next highest category came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In the area of long-term care, we assess the quantity of care provided by a nursing home, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.46835 percent of its patients. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next most favorable area ended up being short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a C. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Turning the last category of inspections, we gave this nursing home a score of D for our inspection category. This proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We take a poor grade in this category very seriously. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. Amazingly, this particular nursing didn't have any deficiencies on its inspection report. Clearly, this was not the area dragging down its inspection grade. Lastly, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines recently of over $100,000. This often means that a facility's bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
