Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not have many positive things to say about this facility's overall score, it did receive a respectable inspection report this year. It received a decent grade in this category with a B-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is far below average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next highest area is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. In determining our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is more often than not a solid measure of a facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we analyzed is long-term care, which proved to be a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a D in the area of long-term care. Facilities that do not fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 57.30337 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points below the national average. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
