Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's best category grade came in our short-term care rating. In that area, we gave this facility a B+. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is considered to be a solid assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home's inspection grade also was better than its overall score. Due to a quality inspection report this year, it received one of our better scores in that area with a grade of B. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category ended up being long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final category we rated was nursing. In this category, we gave this facility a C. In computing our nursing scores, we weigh both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. In addition to ranking poorly in terms of nursing hours offered, this place also lagged behind in certain statistics that are tied to quality of care. This nursing home's nursing rating was pulled down by poor performance in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers. We found that 20.07874 percent of this nursing home's residents suffered from pressure ulcers. This is at least double the average nursing home.
