Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it received an A-. Few facilities fared better in this category. If it was not for this grade, this nursing home's overall score would have been much lower. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we graded is long-term care, where this facility received a grade of C in this area. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average percentage. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on the final category of inspections, this nursing home really did not fare well. It received an F in our inspection category. This pulled this nursing home's overall grade down as we heavily weight this category. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection grade. We suggest you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to resident safety or health. Lastly, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines recently of over $50,000. This usually suggests that government inspectors became fed up after multiple years of failed health inspections.
