Historical

Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to note its decent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it a relatively respectable grade of B- in that category. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. 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.

Historical

This facility's second highest area was its short-term care grade, where it was given a B-. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. This nursing home is respectable both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 42.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this is below average.

We also gave this facility a decent score in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.27711 percent of its residents. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. While it had 1.93 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than most nursing homes due to it having more complex patients.

Historical

The last area we rated is nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in that category. This is a decent grade in this area. In determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses are seeing patients as well as the levels of training of those nurses. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also factored in some quality-based measures. This place fared well in some of the quality measures we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this place performed better than the national average.
