Nurse Quality

While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. Nursing ratings are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

One of this nursing home's more respectable category scores was in the category of long-term care. This proved to be its second best category. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.66997 percent of its residents. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

This facility received slightly below average government inspections in recent years. We gave them a grade of C in this category. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. 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

The next area we rated is short-term care. We awarded it a C in that area. This is not a bad grade in this area. Our short-term care ratings are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The important question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
