Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Although this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it earned a very good grade in long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better grades. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 93.22034 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Another strength for this facility is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with an B+. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The third category we looked at was short-term care, where this facility was given an F. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. As you might expect, we learned that this place provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed is nursing. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. The nursing score consists of several subcategories, but the most important one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This place offered a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This place was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers could be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this facility's nursing rating significantly.
