Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we did not rate this nursing home well overall, we want to note that it received a B- for short-term care. This isn't a terrible score Short-term care grades are often used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We actually gave this facility a very solid grade in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- in this category. This is better than many facilities in this category. Inspection ratings are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This facility was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing rating includes a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest category was long-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.71987 percent of its residents, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
