Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We weren't high on this facility's overall grades or its category scores. We gave it just a just D in nursing and that proved to be its best grade. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we weigh the amount of time nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is slightly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to point out that this facility received an F for its inspection score. An F in this category is particularly troublesome because it typically points to major red flags on the facility's inspection reports. With nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection score, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to patient 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Additionally, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the area of long-term care. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 81.19403 percent of its patients. This is many points below the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed was short-term care. This nursing home received a rock bottom grade of F in this category. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4 percent of its residents returning home.
