Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

While we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we actually awarded it a fairly strong score in long-term care, where it earned a grade of B+. This is better than most facilities in this area. This helped an otherwise poor profile. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second most favorable area is short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B-. Short-term care ratings are critical for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. There are a variety of criteria included in this grade. Most of the datapoints reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our final area of inspections, this nursing home received an F in this area. Since this data is compiled by government inspectors, we heavily weight negative feedback in this area. For nursing homes with bad inspection scores, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular nursing home was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by the government inspectors had the potential to create actual harm to residents. Finally, we also want to point out that this facility received significant government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This usually suggests that a poor performance has been an issue for multiple years.
