Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave it a B+ in this area, which was much better than its overall grade. Our inspection grades are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This particular nursing home received 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing score is mostly tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in this area. Short-term care grades are typically used to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation To have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this place offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive category was long-term care, which is the final area we analyzed. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After we finished assessing the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 98.44358 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
