Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though this place's overall score was not a highlight, it actually received a respectable grade in short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- for that category. This bailed out its overall score to a degree. Short-term care grades are typically employed to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility was given its third best category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for patients needing more traditional services related to activities of daily living. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Looking to our last category of inspections, we gave this nursing home a score of just D, which is a relatively poor grade. Our inspection rating is based on the facility's inspection reports. Since this data is compiled by independent government inspectors, we place significant weight on it in our overall grades. One of the more important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We suggest you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This facility had one category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst categories of deficiencies. These categories mean that CMS identified a deficiency which puts resident health or safety in imminent danger. Finally, this facility also received 35 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
