Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we would like to point out its decent health inspections in recent years. We gave it a somewhat respectable grade of B- in this area. Inspection ratings are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a middle of the pack grade in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we assessed was long-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Long-term care ratings are essential for residents looking for non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility gave the vaccine to 97.13115 percent of its patients, which is an above average statistic. Finally, 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 number.
