Nurse Quality
B-
Historical
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. Our nursing grade assesses quite a few subcategories, however, the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Long-term Care Quality
C
Historical
This facility also didn't perform terribly in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a C in that area, which turned out to be among its more respectable scores. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 94.663574 percent of its patients, which is an above average total. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.09 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.

Facility Inspections
C
Historical
This nursing home didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. We awarded them a grade of C for that category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to present an imminent danger to patient health or safety. Lastly, 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.
Short-term Care Quality
F
Historical
The last category we looked at is short-term care. Sadly, it received an F for this category, which is a very poor score. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most important for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 30.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
