Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

The main reason this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of A-. There are a number of criteria within this area. Many of these factors are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities second most favorable area is short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average score in this category. Our short-term care grades are presumably most meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The important question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Turning to government inspections, we gave this nursing home a D for this category. This proved to be one of this nursing home's weaker links. Inspection scores factor in many items on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. When you see too many deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is generally a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This nursing home was assessed a category J or K deficiency, which are among the worst deficiencies. These categories mean that CMS identified a deficiency which places patient health or safety in immediate jeopardy. Lastly, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines recently in excess of $50,000. This typically means that government inspectors became fed up after several years of failed inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's worst area was long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. For this area, we gave this facility a grade of just D. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. We were a bit alarmed this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 79.37063 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
