Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we gave this place a bad overall rating, we actually awarded it a fairly respectable grade in the area of inspections, where it received a B-. This was certainly better than its other categories. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, 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 awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Nursing grades are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third highest category we awarded this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In forming our short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Our last category is long-term care, where we awarded this facility a B- in this category. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 40.465115 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
