Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this place's overall score is not a highlight, it actually received a slightly more favorable grade in the area of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this area, which is a decent score. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk 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

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing ratings are primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a decent grade in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we considered in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we assessed is long-term care, which is a low point for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 93.66085 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
