Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We really couldn't find anything favorable to say about this facility. It received a just D in nursing. Unfortunately, this turned out to be its best grade. There are several criteria included in this category. Most of these datapoints reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This place provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. Unfortunately, this ended up being its second best grade. One of the most critical factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we want to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This often indicates that a nursing home'sbad track record spanned several years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this nursing home a rock-bottom F in the category of short-term care. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is typically a fair assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. Based on its poor grade in this category, we were not shocked to find that this nursing home offers far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we graded is long-term care. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is a poor grade. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 92.90781 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
