Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B-. There are quite a few datapoints included in this area. Many of the subcategories are tied to nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Finally, our nursing ratings also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility also didn't rate poorly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a C in that area, which turned out to be another one of its more favorable scores. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our next area, this nursing home did not fare very well here either. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 84.34343 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit less than the national average. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
