Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a somewhat respectable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this category, which is a decent score. Inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

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 rating is primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road grade in this area. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in that area. This is not a bad grade in this area. In determining our long-term care ratings, we size up the personal care received by a facility's residents. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.69281 percent of its residents, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
