Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its relatively favorable short-term care rating. We gave it a respectable grade of B+ in this area. Short-term care grades are generally employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We wanted to note that this facility received a lowly F for its inspection score. An F in this area is particularly troublesome because it typically points to red flags on the facility's government inspections. For nursing homes with poor inspection ratings, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This particular nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received large government fines totaling over $100,000. This often signifies that a facility's poor performance has been an issue for more than one year.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we analyzed is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade here as well. It received a lowly F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 96.410255 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
