Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we would like to note its decent inspections in recent years. We gave it a somewhat respectable grade of B- in that category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. 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

Grade: B-minus

We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third best category was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average score in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this place 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 final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Our next area is long-term care, in which we awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this category. In crafting our long-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. One of the data points we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 96.6759 percent of its residents. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
