Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. If it was not for this area, this nursing home's overall score would have been much worse. In forming our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third best category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home vaccinated 99.76134 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable statistic. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The last category we assessed was inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. We gave it an F in this category. This ended up pulling down this facility's overall grade quite a bit. When a nursing home has this bad of an inspection score, you should look for severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This nursing home had multiple category G through L deficiencies, which rank among the more severe deficiencies. These categories indicate that the deficiencies uncovered by CMS had the potential to pose actual harm to patients. Lastly, we also would like to point out that this nursing home received large government fines in recent years totaling over $100,000. This generally means that a nursing home's poor performance spanned several years.
