Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this nursing home a poor overall rating, we gave it a somewhat respectable score in the area of inspections, where we gave it a grade of B-. This was quite a bit better than its other category grades. Our inspection ratings are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing ratings are largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third most favorable category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In forming our long-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.81022 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to the final category, this nursing home was given a decent short-term care score of C. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 3.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
