Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Even though we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our nursing rating. The nursing score features numerous datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Surprisingly, we awarded this facility a C for our long-term care rating, which is not a bad grade. In crafting our long-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's personal care services. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This nursing home didn't perform terribly in inspections. We awarded them a grade of C for that area. Our inspection grades are based on items 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 patient safety. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This indicates this facility avoided the more ominous classes of deficiencies. 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

The last category we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home received a very poor grade of F in that category. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is typically a meaningful measure of the facility's rehabilitation. With a grade in this range in this category, we were not stunned to learn this facility was well below average in multiple staffing metrics we assess. In fact, it offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
