Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for inspections. This score is better than the facility's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. 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 rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. We scrutinized the levels of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most other nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this statistic. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning residents even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best area turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a B-. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we assessed is long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is a decent grade in this area. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for residents in need of more traditional services related to personal care. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 95.50265 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
