Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we did not rate this place favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid government inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B+ in this category, which is much better than its overall score. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's short-term care rating appears to be one of its better scores. The nursing home was awarded a B- in this area. Our short-term care grades are thought to be most critical for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in nursing. We gave it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses spend with residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we rated is long-term care, in which this facility received an abysmal score in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is definitely a major concern. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very solid statistic. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
