Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B- for inspections. This grade is better than this facility's overall score. We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Another area of concern is that CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing score includes a handful of components, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. With our short-term care rating, we strive to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we assessed is long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that category. Our long-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of care. This means a broad range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 92.27468 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
