Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility received a long-term care rating which is stronger than its overall grade. We gave this facility a grade of B+ in this category. This helped its overall profile. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 95.03106 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home's inspection rating exceeded its overall grade as well. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with a B. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. We assessed the levels of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to our last category, we awarded this facility a D for short-term care. This was the nursing home's worst category rating. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Given its score in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this facility was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.4 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.
