Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a better long-term care rating of B-. This enhanced its profile to some degree. Long-term care grades assess a facility's personal care rather than the skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

We also wanted to point out this nursing home's decent health inspections in recent years. We gave it somewhat respectable grade of C in this category. Inspection scores are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. The nursing score is based on many datapoints, but the main one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we looked at is short-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is frequently a meaningful assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Given its score in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
