Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

While we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we did give it a very strong grade in nursing, where it earned a B+. Our nursing score weighs many factors, but the main one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility 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: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This score is a more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home's third highest category was short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat poorly. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. With a grade this poor in this category, we were not surprised to discover this facility was below average in two of the key staffing areas we looked at. The nursing home supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to our fourth category, we gave this nursing home a D in our long-term care category. This is the nursing home's worst category rating. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 84.26573 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is quite a bit below what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
