Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this nursing home a bad overall grade, we actually gave it a fairly respectable score in the category of inspections, where it received a B-. This was quite a bit better than its other category grades. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. 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

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category turned out to be its long-term care score, where it received a grade of C. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 93.96985 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we graded was short-term care. This nursing home was awarded a C for the area. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
