Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable long-term care rating this year. We gave it a B+ in this area, which was much better than its overall score. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 90.67599 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, we were pleased to find facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. When determining our nursing grades, we weigh both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This facility received mediocre inspections in recent years. We gave them a C in this area. Our inspection scores are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category J through L deficiencies. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to place patient safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility really didn't fare very well in this area either. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Our short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Given its weak grade in this category, we were not surprised to find this facility offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.6 percent of its residents returning home.
