Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

The main reason this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing grade analyzes a handful of components, but the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility 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 generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's higher category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 94.273125 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this facility a positive score in short-term care. This facility earned a B in this area, which turns out to be one of our more impressive scores. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

In the last category of inspections, this nursing home did not fare well. Sadly, it received an F in this category. This ended up really pulling this nursing home's overall score down as we heavily weight this category. When a place has this poor of an inspection grade, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to resident safety or health. Finally, we also need to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines recently of more than $50,000. This usually suggests that inspectors became frustrated after several years of failed health inspections.
