Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home really excelled at short-term care, with an A in this area. In computing our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is often a fair measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the 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 facility 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 prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Looking to inspections, we gave this nursing home just a D. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. We would scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a risk to resident safety or health. Lastly, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines totaling more than $100,000. This typically means that a poor performance spanned multiple years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the last area, we awarded this nursing home a D for our long-term care category. This is the facility's worst category rating. Naturally, this grade hurt the nursing home's overall grade to a certain degree. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 99.35898 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
