Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this nursing home's nursing grade exceeded its overall rating. This nursing home earned a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. Nursing scores are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' 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

Another one of this facility's higher category grades was in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this area. Short-term care grades are typically used to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we looked at was long-term care, where this facility received a C in this area. With our long-term care score, we analyze the sheer volume of care provided by a nursing home, along with a few qualitative measures. 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 nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Turning the final category of inspections, we gave this facility just a D for our inspection category. This proved to be this nursing home's worst grade. We take a weak score in this category very seriously. Inspection ratings factor in many items on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. When you see too many deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is typically the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to resident safety. This particular nursing home was assessed 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we need to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines in recent years of over $50,000. This often means that inspectors became fed up after several years of failed health inspections.
