Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Although we were not high on this facility overall, we gave it a B for our long-term care rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Without this category, its profile would have been in serious trouble. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a life or death condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating is based on several components, however, the main consideration 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. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This facility received slightly below average government inspections in recent years. We awarded them a C in this area. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded was short-term care. This facility was given a poor grade of F in this area. Short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With a score this poor for this area, we were not stunned to discover this place was well below average in two of the key staffing figures we focus on. The facility offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The final item we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its patients returning home.
