Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. Our nursing grade features many datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a middle of the pack score in the area of short-term care, where it received a B-. In computing our short-term care scores, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is frequently a reliable assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B-. In forming our long-term care grades, we analyze the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 98.36735 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The final category we looked at was inspections. This facility did not receive positive inspections in recent years. In fact, we had to give it an F here. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection score. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. Amazingly, this particular nursing didn't have any deficiencies on its inspection report. Clearly, this was not the area dragging down its inspection grade. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
