Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We want to note that this place earned a much better grade for long-term care than it received overall. In fact, we gave it one of our best grades in that area with an A-. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.4375 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's higher category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. Short-term care grades are important for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

The last category we assessed is inspections. Unfortunately, we were surprised to find that this facility did not receive a favorable inspection rating. We gave it just a just D in this area. Clearly, this grade is not on par with some of this nursing home's other grades. Inspection ratings relate to a facility's inspections. Since this information is collected by government inspectors, we tend to weight it pretty heavily. Inspection scores factor in many items on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. When you find severe deficiencies on the reports, this is typically a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular facility was assessed one category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst deficiencies. Finally, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed large government fines recently of more than $50,000. This often means that government inspectors grew tired after several years of failed government inspections.
