Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B for our short-term care rating. In determining these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

We awarded this nursing home a C for our inspections rating. This grade is better than its overall grade. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing. We awarded it an D for that category, which is one of our highest scores. The nursing grade analyzes several subcategories, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we analyzed was long-term care, where this facility was given a poor score in this category as well. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is definitely a major disappointment. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
