Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Even though we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of A- for our nursing rating. This is much more impressive than its overall grade. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of 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: C

This facilities next most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road score in this category. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 3.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's inspection grades where it received an F. This generally means we found some red flags on the inspection reports. For places with poor inspection scores, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This nursing home had 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we would like to point out that this nursing home was assessed large government fines totaling more than $100,000. This often indicates that a nursing home's poor performance has been an issue for several years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed is long-term care. This facility was given a poor grade of F in this category. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated only 80.73395 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
