Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home's long-term care score is notably more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong performance in this category, it received one of our higher grades in that area with a B. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an B. Our nursing rating is primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This nursing home received its third best category grade in the area of inspections. Inspection ratings are based on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. We awarded this nursing home a C in this area. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This indicates that inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. We didn't consider anything on this facility's inspection report to be overly concerning.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's worst area was short-term care, which is the last area we assessed. For this area, we awarded this facility a D. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Based on its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we assessed. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
