Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we were not high on this facility overall, we gave it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This score is more respectable than the place's overall score. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those 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 flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. There are a variety of subcategories within this area. Many of these subcategories reflect nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable category is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we graded was long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in that area. For patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
