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 grades are tied to several datapoints found on 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 resident safety. 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. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Incredibly, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for its short-term care rating, which isn't too bad of a score. In crafting our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 6.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. There are a host of datapoints within this category. Many of the factors relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most facilities. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this metric.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we rated was long-term care. This facility received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 86.22755 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit below average. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
