Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Even though this nursing home's overall score wasn't a highlight, it earned a very good score in the category of short-term care. We gave it a B for that category, which is a solid score. This one of its few redeeming features. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more critical for patients requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

We awarded this nursing home a middle of the road grade of C for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. To our surprise, this nursing home was hit with a category J through K deficiency, which are some of the worst possible deficiencies. This generally tells you CMS found a deficiency which placed patient health or safety in immediate danger. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. The nursing grade is based on a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This statistic is far below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst category is long-term care, which is the last area we scored. In this area, we awarded this facility a D. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated just 75.536476 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
