Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this place's overall grade, it did receive a somewhat respectable government inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent score in this category with a B-. Inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. 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 awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is largely based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we graded was short-term care, where this facility received a B- in this area. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the next area, this nursing home was given a grade of B- for long-term care, which is a decent rating. Our long-term care grade is used to assess a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 81.60622 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly lower than average. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
