Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility really excelled in the category of short-term care, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. If it wasn't for this category, this facility's overall grade would have been much lower. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

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 area, we gave this facility an B+. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 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 the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility's next highest category was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 95.566505 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning our last category of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. This grade was detrimental to this nursing home's overall score. For facilities with bad inspection ratings, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed one category J through K deficiency, which are among the worst categories of deficiencies. Finally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines recently of over $100,000. This typically signifies that a nursing home's poor track record has been an issue for several years.
