Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next highest area was its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. In forming these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable category was long-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road score in this category. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 90.04816 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is several points less than average. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

In the last area of inspections, we gave this facility a C for this category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you that it dodged the more serious categories of deficiencies. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
