Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we did not have many positive things to say about this nursing home's overall grade, it did receive a respectable government inspection report this year. It received a decent grade in this category with a B-. Inspection ratings are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk 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

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility an B-. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a relatively low total compared with most nursing homes. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we looked at was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of C in this category. In computing our long-term care grades, we assess the assistance with daily living received by the facility's residents. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 96.42857 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place keeps 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we scored was short-term care. We awarded it a C in that area. This is a decent grade in this category. In computing our short-term care scores, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is typically a solid measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
