Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it earned a respectable inspection report this year. It received a decent grade in that area with a B-. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are mostly based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's third most favorable category ended up being its short-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. Our short-term care scores are presumably most important for patients in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we graded was long-term care. This nursing home was given a grade of B- in this category. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very solid figure. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
