Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home earned a short-term care score which is stronger than its overall score. We gave this facility an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our short-term care scores are important for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing, where it earned an B. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning patients more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility received its third highest category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this category, which is a decent score. In determining our long-term care ratings, we assess the assistance with daily living received by the nursing home's residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.15909 percent of its patients. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Looking to our final category of inspections, we gave this nursing home a just D, which is a relatively poor grade. Our inspection grade is based on the facility's inspections. Since this information is collected by independent government inspectors, we place significant weight on it in our overall grades. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we also would like to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This often suggests that a facility's poor performance spanned more than one year.
