Facility Inspections

Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B- for inspections. This score is more respectable than this facility's overall score. 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 the deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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.

Nurse Quality

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing grades are largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next highest area was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

The next area we scored was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor grade. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.319725 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
