Facility Inspections

Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it a somewhat respectable score of B- in this area. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

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 rating is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared to most nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we analyzed is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a decent grade of B-. In our short-term care rating, we strive to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

The next area we rated is long-term care, which ended up being a low point for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a D in our long-term care category. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.36842 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
