Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We gave this nursing home one of our better grades in long-term care, with an A-. This is a notably better grade than its overall grade, which was decent but not elite. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than most nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing grades are mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of C in this category. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The important question is whether this also affected quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This facility did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it a score of just D in this category. Inspection scores relate to a nursing home's inspection reports. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular facility had a category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies identified by CMS had potential to cause actual harm to residents. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received large government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This usually indicates that a nursing home's poor performance has been an issue for more than one year.
