Short-term Care Quality

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of B- for short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are critical for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

This place received a C for the category of inspections. This was certainly a notch above its other category grades. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of 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.

The last area we rated is long-term care, where this facility received an abysmal score in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 83.86412 percent of its residents. This is significantly below the national average.
