Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we did not rate this facility well overall, we wanted to note its decent inspections in recent years. We gave it a somewhat respectable grade of B- in that area. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose 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

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this subcategory. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning a resident more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities next most favorable category is long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. Long-term care scores are essential for people needing personal care. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated only 90.30471 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we scored is short-term care, which was a weak link for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a D for short-term care. With our short-term care grade, we seek to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. With its score in this category, we were not stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
