Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility earned an impressive short-term care score this year. We awarded it a grade of B+ in this area. Our short-term care ratings are probably most meaningful for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 6.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. When determining our nursing grades, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides only 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving a bottom of the barrel score in our long-term care category. It was given a lowly F in this area. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 95.16129 percent of its residents, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The final category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable inspections in recent years. In fact, we gave it an F here. When a facility has this bad of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular nursing home had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed significant government fines of over $50,000. This generally means that government inspectors became frustrated after multiple years of failed health inspections.
