Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

While we didn't give this facility a good overall grade, we did give it a strong grade in the area of nursing, where it earned a B+. This is better than most facilities in this area. Our nursing score consists of a handful of subcategories, however, the paramount one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's more respectable category grades came in the category of long-term care. This ended up being its second best category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. With our long-term care score, we look at the amount of services provided by a facility, along with a few qualitative measures. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 86.68281 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home received a grade of just D in the area of inspections. Inspection scores weigh many items on the facility's inspection reports. If you see severe deficiencies on the reports, this is typically a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular facility was hit with one category J through K deficiency, which rank among the worst deficiencies. Lastly, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines totaling more than $100,000. This generally indicates that a bad track record spanned more than one year.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive area is short-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. For this area, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Considering its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
