Facility Inspections
Grade: B-minus
Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to note its decent inspections in recent years. We awarded it a somewhat respectable score of B- in this category. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.
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-. In determining our nursing ratings, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

We found that just 6.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

The next area we graded was long-term care. This nursing home received a B- for the category. Long-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of nursing services.

This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.375 percent of its residents. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
