Nurse Quality

The main thing propping up this nursing home's profile is its elite nursing score. We gave this facility an A in that category. Nursing ratings are tied to nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 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 nursing home 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 generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Another strength of this facility is its strong score in short-term care. We gave it one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of A. In determining these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Next we looked at this facility's inspection rating This grade is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. We gave it a C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This tells you it avoided the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality

Turning to the next category, this facility really did not perform very well. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is this facility's weakest category grade. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 96.52509 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
