Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall grade, we actually gave it a very strong grade in nursing, where it received a B. When computing a facility's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses are with residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best area turned out to be its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. Generally, you should be most cautious when considering a nursing home that has severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This particular facility had 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received significant government fines recently of over $100,000. This often indicates that a facility's bad track record has been an issue for several years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst category is long-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of just D. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 82.02248 percent of its patients, which is well below average. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
