Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B- for inspections. This grade is more respectable than this facility's overall score. Our inspection ratings are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing score is primarily tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning patients more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it received a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The key is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 6.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we rated was long-term care. This nursing home received a C in the category. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of services provided by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.565216 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
