Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our nursing category. When calculating a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most facilities. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We were also stunned to discover that this nursing home received a somewhat respectable short-term care score in our assessment. We awarded it a B- in this category. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. For places with bad inspection grades, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies identified by inspectors had the potential to cause actual harm to patients. We are also concerned by the fact that this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we looked at was long-term care, in which this facility received an abysmal grade in this area as well. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is definitely a major disappointment. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.35165 percent of its residents, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
