Nurse Quality

We would like to point out that this facility's nursing grade exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. Our nursing score is largely associated with the facility's level of 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 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 many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

One of this facility's higher category grades was in the area of short-term care. This wound up being its second best category. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next best area is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this category. In computing our long-term care scores, we look at the assistance with daily living received by the nursing home's residents. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. 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 number.

Facility Inspections

Turning our last category of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. This grade was detrimental to this nursing home's overall grade. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection rating, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This facility had 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received large government fines in recent years of more than $50,000. This usually means that government inspectors became fed up after several years of bad health inspections.
