Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the facility's overall score. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid facilities that have too many deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities next most favorable area was long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this area. Our long-term care scores are pivotal for patients in need of non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 44.802868 percent of its residents, which is slightly concerning. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility only earned a D for its short-term care rating, which is not one of our better scores. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more critical for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its score in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Finally, we considered the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our next category, this nursing home did not perform very well in this area either. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. There are numerous data points within this category. Many of these criteria relate to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home was above average in two of the metrics we considered, with good marks for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
