Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Although this facility's overall score was not favorable, it actually received a very good score in long-term care. In fact, we gave it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia tragically can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a C for our inspections rating. This grade is better than the nursing home's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. This facility had 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent 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

Grade: D

We gave this facility just a D for our short-term care score. This is not an impressive grade. Our short-term care grade is often employed to measure a facility's rehabilitation services To have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Considering its score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next category we assessed is nursing, was this nursing home's worst area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. Nursing grades are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This number is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
