Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this facility's inspection grade exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a B+ in this area, which is a quality score. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Nursing scores are largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's third best area ended up being short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are crucial for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. We gave it a lowly F in this category. Even with a few decent grades in other categories, this grade is nevertheless of a concern so we wanted to point it out. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.268394 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
