Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B+ in this area, which is much better than its overall score. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a list of deficiencies flagged. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's better category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 74.344025 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat below what we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing grade is based on a handful of factors, however, the main one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our last area, this nursing home did not fare well in this category either. Due to a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Given its grade in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
