Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home performed well in long-term care, with an A+ in this category. This really propped up its overall score quite a bit. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing care, with an impressive grade of A in this category. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning patients even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also received an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, we awarded them a B in this category, which is one of our better. Short-term care scores are vital for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The last category we assessed was inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. We gave it an F in this category. This dragged down this nursing home's overall score significantly. With nursing homes that received this bad of an inspection score, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was assessed multiple deficiencies in categories G through L, which rank among the more serious categories of deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies identified by inspectors had the potential to create actual harm to patients. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines totaling over $100,000. This typically means that a bad performance has been an issue for multiple years.
