Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although this facility's overall grade is not a highlight, it actually received a somewhat respectable score in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for that category, which is a decent score. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. 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 awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating assesses a handful of factors, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning patients even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility received a B- in this area. Our long-term care grades are more important for residents requiring more conventional services associated with personal care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to the final area, this nursing home was given an acceptable short-term care grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
