Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

While we didn't give this facility a good overall grade, we did give it a strong grade in the area of nursing, where it received a B+. In determining a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of licensure of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 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 place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was given a strong grade in our short-term care category. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B in that area. Our short-term care grades are presumably most important for people needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this nursing home just a D for our long-term care score. This is not an impressive grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the facility did not perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 42.79661 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our final category of inspections, this facility received an abysmal grade. We weight this category more heavily than other categories. When a place has this bad of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This nursing home had 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a threat to resident health or safety. Lastly, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This typically suggests that a bad performance has been an issue for several years.
