Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this place a bad overall grade, we awarded it a fairly respectable score in the category of inspections, where it received a B-. This was certainly better than its other categories. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. 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

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an B-. Our nursing grade is based on quite a few factors, but the main one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This place provides only 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third most favorable category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Our next category is long-term care, where we gave this facility a grade of B- in that area. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated only 79.69349 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
