Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We gave this facility an A- in the short-term care category. With our short-term care rating, we seek to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing category assesses several datapoints, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is far below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Turning to the area of health inspections, we gave this nursing home a grade of C for our inspection category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent danger to patient safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest category is long-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 97.30942 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
