Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

It should also be noted that this facility's short-term care grade outperformed its overall grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of B for its short-term care grade, which is an above average grade. This helped its overall score. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This area is often a fair measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also excelled in nursing, where it received a grade of B. Our nursing score is primarily associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Turning to our inspection category, it appears this facility has received respectable inspections in recent years as well. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the final area, this facility really didn't perform well. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this was this facility's weakest category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 93.38843 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
