Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home earned a short-term care grade which is better than its overall grade. We awarded this facility a B in this area. This really helped its overall profile. Our short-term care scores are arguably more critical for those requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next highest category ended up being its long-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. For prospective patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. The nursing rating weighs a handful of components, but the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning residents even once per day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

The final category we looked at is inspections. Inspection ratings are based on a facility's recent government inspections. This nursing home received a score of C in this category. Inspection grades are tied to several data points 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 resident safety. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means it dodged the more significant classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
