Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it excelled in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our highest grades. In forming our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this facility a strong grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. This is better than most nursing homes in this category. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 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 facility 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 often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This nursing home was assessed a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more severe categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies identified by the government inspectors had potential to create actual harm to residents. Lastly, we also need to point out that this place was assessed large government fines recently of over $100,000. This generally means that a nursing home's bad track record has been an issue for multiple years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our final category, this facility didn't fare very well in this category either. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. Nursing homes that do not score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated just 89.11175 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
