Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

While we did not have many positive things to say about this facility's overall score, it did receive a better long-term care score of B-. This enhanced its profile to some degree. In determining these long-term care scores, we look at the facility's personal care services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

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 scores are primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we assessed is short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. In computing our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is often a solid assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

In the final category of inspections, this ended up being this facility's weakest link. Inspection grades are based on a facility's recent government inspections. We gave this nursing home a grade of just D in this category, which is not a very good grade. One of the most critical factors in assessing inspection reports is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with a category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies found by the government inspectors had potential to pose actual harm to residents. Finally, this facility also received 10 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
