Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this facility's long-term care rating exceeded its overall grade. This nursing home earned a B+ in this category. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.242775 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home's second best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In that area, we gave this facility a B. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. There are quite a few datapoints within this grade. Most of these datapoints reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst category is short-term care, which is the final area we scored. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. Our short-term care grades are crucial for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
