While this nursing home's overall grade was not great, it received a good grade in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is a solid score. This one of its few redeeming features. Our short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its strong profile, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with an B. Our nursing score weighs numerous subcategories.

The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received large government fines recently amounting to over $100,000. This usually means that a bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
Long-term Care Quality

In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.61904 percent of its residents, which is more than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home.
