Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home received a long-term care rating which is better than its overall grade. We awarded this facility a B+ in this area. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. 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. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 91.76471 percent of its patients. This is a few points less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. The nursing score is based on quite a few factors, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third category we analyzed is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of C. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Moving on the final category of inspections, we gave this facility a D for our inspection category. This proved to be this facility's weakest category. We take a poor score in this category very seriously. Our inspection scores weigh many items on the facility's inspection reports. When you see severe deficiencies on the reports, this is typically a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed large government fines totaling over $100,000. This generally suggests that a bad performance has been an issue for multiple years.
