Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility really excelled in our short-term care category, with an A- in this area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

We also wanted to note that this nursing home earned an impressive grade of B in the category of nursing. Nursing scores are primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. 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 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 many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's third most favorable area turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of C. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

The last category we looked at was inspections. This ended up being this nursing home's worst grade. We gave it a grade of just D in this category. Since this data is compiled by government inspectors, we weight it heavily in our overall grade. One of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we would like to point out that this facility received large government fines in recent years of more than $50,000. This usually indicates that government inspectors became fed up after multiple years of bad government inspections.
