Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility's overall grade was helped by a strong long-term care grade. We gave them one of our higher scores in that category, with a B+. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home actually earned a solid government inspection report this year as well, with few major dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better scores in that category with a score of B-. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 10 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we analyzed is short-term care, which turned out to be a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a D for short-term care. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is more often than not a solid measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. With its abysmal score in this category, we were not shocked to discover this facility offers substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
