Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility really excelled in the category of short-term care. We gave it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. This really salvaged its profile. Short-term care grades are commonly used to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning a patient even once per day.

In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 67.35905 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on our final category of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. This grade was very detrimental to this nursing home's overall score. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection grade. We would pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which rank among the more serious categories of deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had the potential to cause actual harm to residents. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received large government fines in recent years of over $100,000. This typically signifies that a bad track record has been an issue for multiple years.
