Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we gave this facility a poor overall grade, we actually gave it a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a B-. This was better than its other category scores. Our nursing rating weighs many factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's short-term care score appears to be one of its best scores. The nursing home was given a grade of B- in this area. In computing our short-term care grades, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is considered to be a useful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home was given its third most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this area, which is an acceptable score. In the category of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of care provided by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 93.623184 percent of its residents. This is a bit less than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Lastly, this nursing home received a C. Inspection grades relate to a nursing home's government inspections. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. To our surprise, this place was assessed a category J through K deficiency, which are some of the worst categories of deficiencies. This often tells you CMS found a deficiency which places resident health or safety in immediate danger. On top of having severe deficiencies, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
