Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a bad overall grade, we awarded it a somewhat respectable score in the area of inspections, where it received a B-. This was quite a bit better than its other categories. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. There are many criteria within this category. Most of the criteria relate to nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
