Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We want to note that this facility received a far better grade for short-term care than it received overall. It received one of our best scores in that category with an A. In calculating these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's stronger areas was in the category of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. Our nursing grade is largely based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The third category we analyzed is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. It actually fared better than most nursing homes in this area. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 94.70588 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Turning the final category of inspections, this ended up being this facility's worst grade. Inspection scores are based on a facility's recent government inspections. We gave this nursing home a score of D in this category, which is not good. Since this data is collected by independent inspectors, we take it pretty seriously. Inspection ratings weigh many items found on the facility's inspection reports. If you see too many deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is typically a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received large government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This typically suggests that a nursing home's bad track record has been an issue for several years.
