Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care. We awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best grades. This really boosted its overall profile. Short-term care ratings are important for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also excelled in nursing, where it received an B. Nursing ratings are mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning a patient even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our long-term care grade. This is well below average in this category. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection rating. We gave it just a just D in this category. Inspection scores relate to a nursing home's government inspections. We weight poor inspection grades heavily in our assessment. Since the inspection reports are completed by independent inspectors, we consider this information to be reliable. One of the more important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility had 3 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years exceeding $50,000. This typically means that CMS inspectors grew tired after multiple years of failed government inspections.
