Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

While we weren't high on this nursing home's overall score, it earned an impressive long-term care rating this year. We gave it a B+ in this category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 74.4186 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat less than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing rating assesses several components, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a relatively low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Among this facility's worst category grades was a lowly F for its inspection score. More often than not, this means we found red flags on the facility's inspections. You should pay special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We recommend you pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed large government fines in recent years amounting to more than $100,000. This often means that a nursing home's bad track record spanned multiple years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we rated was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a very poor grade in this area also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This score is considered to be a useful measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Based on its abysmal score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility provides significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.2 percent of its patients returning home.
