Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we gave this facility an abysmal overall grade, we gave it a grade of B- for our nursing category. Nursing ratings are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This nursing home didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a C for that category. Other aspects of its profile were the source of its abysmal overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. This nursing home had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent danger to resident health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility also didn't rate poorly in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we gave it a C in that category, which ended up being among its higher scores. Our short-term care ratings are likely most critical for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our last category, this facility did not perform very well here either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 89.45148 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
