Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We awarded this facility a grade of A for our short-term care score. This is much more impressive than its overall score. In computing our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is often a meaningful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weighed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next most favorable category ended up being long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a C. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 96.72131 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable percentage. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Moving on our final category of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. This grade was very detrimental to this facility's overall score. With nursing homes that received this poor of an inspection rating, we recommend scrutinizing the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was assessed a category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst categories of deficiencies. Finally, we also need to point out that this facility was assessed significant government fines in recent years amounting to over $100,000. This generally means that a nursing home's bad track record has been an issue for multiple years.
