Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade is not a highlight, it received a slightly more favorable grade in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this area, which is a decent score. Our inspection ratings are based on 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 patient safety. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

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 grades are mostly associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities third most favorable area is short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. With our short-term care category, we attempt to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we rated was long-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 94.0239 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
