Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility really excelled in our short-term care rating, with an A in this category. This really propped up its overall score. With our short-term care category, we seek to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 7.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning to the category of nursing, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- in that area. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at 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 facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning residents more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facilities third best area is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this category. Our long-term care ratings are meaningful for residents looking for personal care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 96.55173 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our final category of inspections, this facility received a grade that's as bad as it gets. Unfortunately, with an F in the inspection category, this nursing home's overall grade was adversely affected. When a facility has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This facility was assessed 10 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 19 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
