Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Although this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing. We gave it a B- for that category. There are a host of criteria within this area. Many of the factors are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home received its next most favorable category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this area, which is a respectable grade. Our long-term care scores are more important for people requiring more conventional assistance associated with activities of daily living. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 89.47368 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This nursing home received mediocre government inspections in recent years. We awarded them a grade of C in this area. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last category is short-term care, where we gave this nursing home a grade of C in this area. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
