Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We gave this nursing home an A in the area of short-term care. Short-term care grades are typically employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This nursing home is above the national average both in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents. These are generally good indicators of quality short-term care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. In addition to excelling in the area of physical therapy staffing, we found that it performed as well as just about any nursing home in the nation in this area with 60 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. Nursing ratings are largely based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home offers 3.5 hours of nursing care per patient daily, of which more than an hour of those were provided by registered nurses. This is one of the most highly trained nurses. In determining our nursing scores, we attach more weight to hours performed by registered nurses. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing grades. This nursing home was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This nursing home received its third best category score in inspections. Inspection scores are based on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. We awarded this facility a C in this area. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were category J through L deficiencies. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to place patient health or safety in immediate harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we looked at is long-term care. It received an F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is certainly a significant concern. Facilities that don't fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated a relatively low 87.0229 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
