Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we would like to note its decent inspection reports in recent years. We awarded it a relatively respectable score of B- in this area. Inspection ratings are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient health or safety. 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

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B-. There are many criteria within this area. Most of these datapoints relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, our nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities next best category is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this area. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most critical for patients requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we rated is long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in that area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. In computing these long-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's personal care services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 35.028248 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
