Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent health inspection reports in recent years. We gave it a relatively respectable score of B- in that category. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 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 largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility received its next best category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent grade. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the last area, this nursing home received a grade of B- for long-term care, which is generally a respectable grade. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of services provided by a facility, rather than more medically-intensive services. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 94.155846 percent of its residents, which is higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
