Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this place's overall score was not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable grade in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for that area, which is a decent score. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Nursing scores are largely associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a respectable grade in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are typically employed to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 6.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we graded is long-term care. This facility was given a B- in this area. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 89.67742 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
