Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this facility's overall score is not a highlight, it received a slightly more favorable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this area, which is not bad. Our inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next highest category is its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are likely more critical for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we looked at is long-term care, ended up being this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.52217 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
