Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not have many positive things to say about this nursing home's overall score, it did receive a somewhat respectable inspection report this year. It received a decent score in this area with a score of B-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next most favorable area was its short-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing score weighs quite a few factors, but the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is well below average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we assessed was long-term care, which was a weak link for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.4709 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
