Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B for our inspections category. This grade is far better than the place's overall grade. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was given its next best category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a decent score. In determining our long-term care scores, we scrutinize the personal care received by a facility's residents. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable figure. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third best area turned out to be its short-term care score, where it was given a C. Short-term care ratings are vital for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest category is nursing, which is the last category we looked at. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. When determining our nursing scores, we analyze both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
