Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We awarded this facility one of our higher grades in the area of short-term care, where it received an A. This is far better than the nursing home's overall grade, which was certainly not elite. Our short-term care scores are arguably more meaningful for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home performed well in the area of nursing. We awarded it an B- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its long-term care grade. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on our final category of inspections, this facility received a terrible grade. With an F in the inspection category, this facility's overall grade was adversely affected. With facilities that received this poor of an inspection score, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was hit with 10 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 38 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
