Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall grade, we did give it a very strong grade in the area of nursing, where it earned a B. This is better than most facilities in this category. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving patients more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this facility an impressive score in short-term care. This facility received a grade of B in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another unfortunate development is the F this nursing home was given in the category of long-term care. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.630135 percent of its patients, which is more than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

In our final category of inspections, this facility received a horrible grade. For places that received this poor of an inspection rating, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, we need to point out that this place was assessed large government fines recently of over $100,000. This generally suggests that a poor performance spanned multiple years.
