Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This facility really fared well in the area of long-term care. We gave it a grade of A+ for that area. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also fared well in the area of short-term care. For this reason, we awarded it a score of A- in that area, which happens to be one of our most impressive scores. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of time the nurses were with residents, in calculating our score in this area. This facility provided 0.5 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 in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Turning the last category of inspections, this nursing home did not fare well. Sadly, it received an F in our inspection category. This ended up really pulling this facility's overall score down as we heavily weight this category. For facilities that received this bad of an inspection rating, we would scrutinize any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This nursing home was hit with a deficiency by CMS. We were relieved to find that it wasn't in a category that suggests that it posed a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines recently of more than $100,000. This usually indicates that a poor track record has been an issue for more than one year.
