Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility earned a far better grade for short-term care than its overall score. In fact, it received one of our best scores in that category with a score of A-. With our short-term care score, we endeavor to create a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also excelled in nursing, where it earned a grade of B+. Few facilities performed better in this category. In determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the amount of time nurses are with patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third highest area is long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Long-term care scores are important for patients requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. We were a bit concerned this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 63.058823 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it a just D in this category. Inspection grades relate to a facility's inspections. We weight poor inspection grades heavily in our assessment. Since government inspections are compiled by independent government inspectors, we consider this information to be very reliable. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. You should be more cautious when considering a facility that has severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular nursing home was assessed one category J or K deficiency, which are among the worst deficiencies. This generally means that inspectors identified a deficiency which places patient safety or health in immediate danger. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this place received significant government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This often suggests that a bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.
