Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we gave this facility a poor overall rating, we awarded it a somewhat respectable grade in the area of inspections, where it received a B-. This was certainly better than its other category grades. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. We are also concerned by the fact that 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, our nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in this category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Switching gears to our fourth category, this nursing home received an acceptable long-term care score of B-. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 82.14285 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
