Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this nursing home's overall score is not a highlight, it received a slightly more favorable score in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for that category, which is not bad. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility received its third best category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a respectable score. In our short-term care score, we attempt to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we analyzed is long-term care, which is a weak spot for this facility. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for long-term care. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 95.14563 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable total. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
