Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We gave this nursing home an A- for our short-term care score. This is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This facility earned a solid inspection report this year as well, with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a score of B-. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's worst category was long-term care, which is the final area we looked at. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area. Despite a few decent grades in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. For residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 96.30996 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
