Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home really excelled in the area of long-term care, with an A in this area. This really helped its overall score quite a bit. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 87.23404 percent of its patients. This is a bit below what we anticipated. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, we were pleased to find place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it an C for that category, which is one of our highest grades. Our nursing score is mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the area of short-term care, this facility was awarded just a D in this area. Our short-term care grades are critical for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With its abysmal grade in this category, we were not shocked to learn that this place offers significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The last category we assessed was inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave it an F in this category. This ended up pulling down this nursing home's overall grade significantly. For nursing homes with poor inspection scores, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this nursing home also has been assessed large government fines recently.
