Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Although we were not complementary of this facility's overall grade, it received an impressive nursing score this year. We gave it a grade of B in this area. Nursing grades are primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place 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

In addition, we also would like to point out that this nursing home was given impressive short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our better grades in this category, with a B. This turned out to be the nursing home's second strongest score. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second least favorable category was long-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average score. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 50 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it a just D in this category. Inspection scores relate to a facility's government inspection reports. One of the more significant factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We would scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. We weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this nursing home received significant government fines recently of more than $100,000. This often signifies that a bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
