Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. Our nursing grade considers a host of datapoints. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This facility performed well in the area of inspections also. We awarded it a B- for this category, which is a solid score. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the category of short-term care, this facility was awarded a grade of just D in this area. Short-term care grades are often employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we scored is long-term care. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in that area. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.55073 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
