Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we gave it a B- for our nursing rating. This grade is better than the facility's overall rating. Our nursing score analyzes a handful of components, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared well in this subcategory.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We actually gave this facility a very solid score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- in this category. Our inspection ratings are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third highest category we awarded this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our final category is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category. Our long-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's amount of nursing services. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated just 74.28571 percent of its residents. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
