Quick Details
Registered Staff Hours
Nurse Quality
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a somewhat respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a B- in that category. The nursing rating includes quite a few components, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home averages just 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a patient even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to learn that this facility received a reasonably solid short-term care grade this year. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. In computing these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home performed better in this statistic. This place performed better than most nursing homes in this metric with 50.8 percent of its patients returning home.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst category was long-term care, which is the last area we scored. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 96.734695 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.67 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
