Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Although we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable long-term care rating this year. We gave it a B in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.77628 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

We gave this facility a C for our inspections category. Our inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This nursing home was hit with 10 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in categories J through L. This indicates that inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to place resident health or safety in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care rating. This is well below average in this category. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. 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 that were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next area we looked at is nursing, which ended up being this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. Our nursing rating weighs quite a few data points, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found this facility was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This statistic pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
