Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for inspections. This grade is more respectable than this facility's overall score. Inspection grades are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. 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

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B-. We assessed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This place averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, while this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next most favorable area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more critical for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to our fourth category, we gave this nursing home a D in long-term care. This is the facility's worst category grade. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 75.29412 percent of its patients. This is several points lower than the national average. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
