Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we gave this facility a bad overall grade, we awarded it a fairly respectable grade in the category of inspections, where it received a B-. This was certainly better than its other categories. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below average. Lastly, our nursing scores also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we assessed was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a B- in this category. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The critical question is whether this also affected quality of care. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we rated is long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is not a bad grade in this area. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 94.60916 percent of its patients, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
