Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Even though we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually received an impressive grade when it came to nursing. We awarded it a grade of B in this area. Nursing scores are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home also didn't grade out poorly in the category of short-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of B- in that category, which ended up being another one of its better scores. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Unfortunately, with a grade of D in the inspection category, this facility performed relatively poorly in that area. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this place received large government fines of more than $100,000. This generally suggests that a facility's bad performance spanned several years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we assessed was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a very poor grade. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 92.59259 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a bit lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
