Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this nursing home a bad overall rating, we gave it a fairly respectable grade in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B-. This was better than its other categories. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is far below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next best category we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are likely most meaningful for people needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Moving on to the fourth category, this facility was awarded a respectable long-term care score of B-. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 96.014496 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
