Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we gave this facility a weak overall rating, we actually gave it a fairly respectable grade in the category of inspections, where it received a B-. This was better than its other category grades. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

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. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this facility a decent grade in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we graded was long-term care. For that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Long-term care grades are often used to gauge a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
