Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this place's overall score, it did receive a somewhat respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in this category with a score of B-. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, nursing scores also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next highest area ended up being its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more critical for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we rated is long-term care. We gave it a B- in that category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable statistic. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
