Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility excelled in our short-term care category, with an impressive grade of A in this category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also excelled in nursing, where it earned an B+. Few places performed better in this area. Nursing grades are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. 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 place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's third best category ended up being long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our long-term care grades are more critical for folks requiring more traditional services related to personal care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 90.21739 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Looking to our final category of inspections, we gave this facility a score of just D, which is a relatively poor grade. Our inspection grade is based on the nursing home's inspection reports. Since this information is compiled by independent government inspectors, we place a great deal of weight on it in our overall grades. Our inspection ratings weigh many items on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. If you see too many deficiencies on the reports, this is typically a bad sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular facility was hit with 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we want to point out that this nursing home received significant government fines in recent years totaling more than $100,000. This often suggests that a nursing home's bad performance spanned several years.
