Facility Inspections

While we were not high on this facility overall, we gave it a B- for inspections. This grade is more respectable than the facility's overall grade. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down deficiency data for this nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. According to staffing data, this facility averaged 5.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Roughly one quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are among the more highly trained nurses. These are each above average figures. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these datapoints. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility's next best category turned out to be its short-term care score, where it was given a B-. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is registered nurse hours. We found that it offers more care from registered nurses to its residents than most facilities. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. It performed well in this metric with 56.8 percent of its patients returning home. For most facilities, fewer than half of their short-term residents are able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

The last area we assessed is long-term care, which was this nursing home's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a D in that category. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 91.34615 percent of its patients. This is somewhat lower than we anticipated but still a respectable figure. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.93 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
