Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Even though we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable short-term care rating. We gave it a B in this area, which was much better than its overall score. In calculating these short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We were also pleasantly surprised to award this facility a relatively favorable inspection rating as well. We gave it a B- in this category, which easily topped its overall grade. Our inspection scores are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't 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 the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. In computing our nursing ratings, we weigh both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This place averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we looked at is long-term care. This nursing home was given an abysmal grade of F in this category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. 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 nursing home provided the vaccine to only 79.04411 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
