Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility received an elite short-term care grade. We gave this facility an A- in this area, which really helped out its overall grade. In computing our short-term care ratings, we analyze a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is more often than not a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Shockingly, this nursing home actually earned a good score in the area of inspections as well. We gave it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. In calculating our nursing scores, we look at both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's weakest area is long-term care, which is the last area we assessed. Sadly, it received an F in this category. Even with several respectable scores in other areas, this grade is still of a concern so we would like to to make sure you are aware. For patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 95.52239 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
