Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not have many positive things to say about this nursing home's overall grade, it earned a somewhat respectable government inspection report this year. It received a decent score in that area with a B-. Our inspection scores are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. We are also concerned by the fact that this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next highest category ended up being its long-term care grade, where it was given a grade of B-. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 65.34091 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be several points lower than average. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. In determining a facility's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, while this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive area is short-term care, which is the final area we assessed. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of just D. Our short-term care grade is often used to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
