Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Even though this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually earned a very good score in the area of long-term care. We gave it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better grades. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.75845 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of B- in the area. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is well below average. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at is short-term care, where this facility was given a C in this area. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on our final area of inspections, this nursing home received an F in this area. Since this information is collected by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight poor results in this area. For places with bad inspection scores, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 3 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
