Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this nursing home a poor overall score, we gave it a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a B-. This was at least better than its other category grades. The nursing rating weighs many factors, many of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second highest category is its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a B-. In computing our short-term care ratings, we analyze a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is considered to be a meaningful measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next highest category turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it received a grade of B-. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

The last category we addressed was inspections. We gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our inspection rating is based on the nursing home's government inspections. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to present an imminent danger 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.
