Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B- for our inspections rating. This grade is more respectable than the facility's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a B-. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a B- in this area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 99.17127 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable statistic. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we rated is nursing. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our nursing score is largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below the national average. Lastly, we also factored some quality measures into our nursing scores. This nursing home was relatively weak in two of the major metrics we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are typically decent indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.
