Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We wanted to point out that this nursing home' short-term care grade outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave it a B+ for short-term care. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. We were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Remarkably, this facility actually earned a good grade in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we gave it a grade of B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest category is long-term care, which is the last area we scored. In this area, we gave this facility a D. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
