Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we did not have many positive things to say about this place's overall score, it earned a somewhat respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent score in this category with a score of B-. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. On top of having severe deficiencies, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Nursing grades are mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next highest category turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a C. Our long-term care scores are crucial for individuals seeking personal care. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 95.652176 percent of its residents. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 2.1 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than the majority of nursing homes since it had some more complex patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we looked at was short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in that area. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is generally a fair measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. This place is above the national average in terms of its level of both physical therapy and registered nurse staffing provided to its patients. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 40.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
