Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Although we didn't give this facility a good overall score, we did give it a strong grade in the area of nursing, where it received a B. This is better than most facilities in this category. Our nursing score analyzes many subcategories, but the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms 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: B-minus

The next highest area we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are probably most important for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this nursing home received an F for its inspection rating. For facilities with bad inspection scores, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This facility had 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we would like to point out that this place received large government fines of over $100,000. This often suggests that a facility's poor track record has been an issue for multiple years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we scored was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a poor score in this category as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is definitely a major concern. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility gave the vaccine to a relatively low 89.051094 percent of its patients, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
