Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B- for inspections. This score is more respectable than the facility's overall grade. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing scores are primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility averages just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's third highest category was long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B-. Long-term care scores are based in part on the facility's volume of nursing care. This includes a broad range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we scored was short-term care. For that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most important for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
