Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Although this facility's overall grade was not great, it received a good grade for short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. This was a rare highlight in an otherwise lacking profile. Our short-term care scores are probably more critical for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We actually gave this facility a very solid grade in the area of inspections as well. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is better than many nursing homes in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are mostly associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we rated is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is an abysmal score. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 91.338585 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
