Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We awarded this facility an impressive grade of A- for our long-term care grade. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 32.474228 percent of its residents. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, we were pleased to find nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an B+. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we assessed is short-term care, where this facility was given a B- in this area. Our short-term care ratings are likely most critical for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive category was nursing, which is the final area we analyzed. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. When computing our nursing ratings, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to its subpar nursing hour totals, this nursing home also received poor scores in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We found that more of this place's residents sustained falls leading to major injury. We would argue that many falls could be prevented with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this facility receiving a poor nursing rating.
