Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

While we didn't give this facility a good overall grade, we gave it a very strong grade for short-term care, where it earned a B+. In forming these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B. Our nursing score weighs many subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they posed a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines amounting to over $100,000. This often signifies that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we looked at is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is a rock bottom grade. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 99.73475 percent of its patients, which is an above average total. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
