Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we did not rate this facility well overall, we wanted to note its decent government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded it a somewhat respectable score of B- in that category. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing ratings are mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, while this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next highest area turned out to be short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B-. With our short-term care grade, we endeavor to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our final area is long-term care, where we awarded this facility a grade of C in that category. Long-term care grades are typically used to judge a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
