Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This facility excelled in our short-term care category, with an impressive grade of A+ in this category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also excelled in nursing, where it earned an B+. Few places performed better in this area. Nursing grades are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we assessed was long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 87.96791 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is slightly below what we anticipated but still a decent percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Moving on our final category of inspections, we gave this nursing home a score of D. This turned out to be this facility's worst grade and it really hurt its overall grade. Our inspection grade is based on the nursing home's inspections. Since the data is collected by government inspectors, we weight it heavily in overall grade. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. You should be more cautious when considering a facility with severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This particular nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we would like to point out that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This usually signifies that a facility's bad track record has been an issue for multiple years.
