Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Surprisingly, we gave this facility a grade of C for our long-term care grade, which is not too bad of a score. Long-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's amount of care. This includes a broad spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to only 89.11565 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care score, which is well below average in this category. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. With a grade in this range for this area, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home was well below average in two of the key staffing figures we assess. The facility supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next category we looked at was nursing, which ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in this category. Our nursing grade is largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This number is well below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
