Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Even though we did not rate this nursing home well overall, we want to acknowledge it received a decent grade of B- in the category of nursing. The nursing grade consists of quite a few components, but the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this metric. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning a resident at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this nursing home's more favorable category scores came in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second best category. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities next best area is long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our final area of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. Since this information is collected by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight negative feedback in this category. For facilities with poor inspection ratings, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This particular facility was hit with 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they posed a threat to patient health or safety. 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.
