Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable nursing grade of B-. Our nursing grade analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this subcategory. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning patients more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home received its second highest category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is a decent grade. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This facility earned slightly below average inspections in recent years. We gave them a grade of C in this category. We would argue that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home had 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates that this facility dodged the more ominous classes of deficiencies. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we analyzed is long-term care, which ended up being a weak link for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a D in long-term care. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
