Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall grade, we actually gave it a very strong grade in the area of nursing, where it received a B. This is better than most nursing homes in this area. Nursing grades are mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving residents even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second highest area is its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next most favorable area we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a C. Long-term care ratings are essential for prospective residents seeking personal care. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 89.62963 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit less than average. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Looking to our final category of inspections, we gave this facility a just D, which is a relatively poor grade. Our inspection grade is based on the nursing home's government inspection reports. Since this data is compiled by government inspectors, we place more weight on it in our overall grades. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. We would scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed one deficiency on its inspection report. Fortunately, it was not in one of the categories that suggest that it created a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 3 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
