Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall grade, we gave it a grade of B- for our nursing category. Our nursing rating includes many subcategories, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a C for its long-term care score, which really isn't too bad of a score. For patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

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 account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. Generally, you should be most cautious when considering a facility with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular facility had 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 17 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's least impressive category was short-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. With its grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this place was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we considered the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
