Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we were not high on this facility overall, we gave it a B- in nursing. This score is more respectable than the facility's overall score. We scrutinized the levels of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's short-term care rating appears to be one of its higher features. The facility was awarded a B- in this area. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is typically a useful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next most favorable area is its long-term care grade, where it was given a B-. Our long-term care ratings are more meaningful for individuals in need of more traditional services associated with personal care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The final category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home didn't receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. As a result, we had to give it an F in this category. For nursing homes that received this poor of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular nursing home was assessed 7 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to patient safety or health. 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.
