Awards

Short-term Care Quality
Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B- for short-term care. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. 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 final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a decent grade in the area of long-term care, with a grade of B-. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.711815 percent of its patients. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections
This facility received slightly below average inspections in recent years. We gave them a C in this category. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider 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. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
The last category we graded is nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in that category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. There are many factors included in this category. Many of the data points are tied to nurse staffing. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving residents more often.
