Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this nursing home a poor overall score, we awarded it a fairly respectable score in the category of inspections, where it received a B-. This was better than its other category grades. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a solid grade in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we looked at is long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a decent grade of B-. In calculating our long-term care grades, we scrutinize the personal care received by the nursing home's residents. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than most nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we rated was nursing. We gave it a C in this area. This is a fair grade in this category. There are several data points within this category. Many of the factors relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is a very low figure. Finally, although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this statistic.
