Grade: B

This nursing home received a nursing score which is stronger than its overall grade. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. There are quite a few subcategories included in this area. Many of the datapoints are tied to nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a patient at least once a day.

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area.

We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility.

Grade: C

This nursing home's third best area is its long-term care score, where it was awarded a C. Our long-term care scores are more meaningful for residents requiring more traditional services associated with activities of daily living. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 96.92307 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection grade. We gave it a grade of just just D in this category. Inspection grades relate to a nursing home's inspection reports. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with one category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst categories of deficiencies. Finally, we would like to point out that this nursing home received large government fines recently exceeding $50,000. This usually signifies that CMS inspectors became frustrated after several years of failed government inspections.
