Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we did not rate this nursing home well overall, we would like to note its decent health inspection reports in recent years. We gave it a relatively respectable grade of B- in that area. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we have deficiency data for this nursing home. 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.

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 is largely associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third best area is short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average score in this category. With our short-term care category, we try to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 6.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we rated is long-term care. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
