Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This place performed well in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for that category. This saved its overall profile. For residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 85.05747 percent of its patients, which is somewhat below what we were hoping for. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an B. When computing our nursing grades, we assess both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Tragically, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care score. In determining our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is generally a fair assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Considering its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.1 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on our final category of inspections, this nursing home received a grade that's as bad as it gets. With an F in the inspection category, this nursing home's overall grade was adversely affected. For places with poor inspection grades, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular facility had 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to resident safety or health. At the end of the day, there weren't too many highlights for this nursing home in this area.
