Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we did not rate this nursing home well overall, we want to note its decent health inspection reports in recent years. We gave it a relatively respectable score of B- in that area. Inspection grades are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's long-term care rating is one of its best scores. The nursing home received a grade of B- in this category. Long-term care ratings are essential for people in need of non-healthcare services such as personal care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 78.88199 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is quite a few points lower than what we expected. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing grade is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this area. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a resident more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we analyzed was short-term care, which was a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a D in the area of short-term care. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. With a grade of this caliber for this category, we were not stunned to discover that this facility was below average in multiple staffing areas we focus on. The nursing home supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
