Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B- for our inspections rating. This score is better than this place's overall grade. Our inspection scores are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home averages just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home was awarded its third best category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a respectable score. Short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home was awarded a respectable long-term care score of B-. In determining our long-term care scores, we look at the personal care received by a nursing home's residents. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 98.60725 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
