Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for our nursing rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Our nursing score looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also excelled in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we gave it a score of A- in that area, which is one of our most impressive scores. With our short-term care category, we strive to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's third highest category turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 90.909096 percent of its residents. This is a few points below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Moving on the last category of inspections, this ended up being this nursing home's worst grade. Inspection grades are based on a nursing home's recent government inspection reports. We gave this nursing home a score of D in this category, which is not a very good grade. Since this data is collected by independent inspectors, we typically take it pretty seriously. Inspection ratings weigh many items on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. When you find severe deficiencies on the inspection reports, this is generally the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we want to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed significant government fines recently of more than $100,000. This generally suggests that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for several years.
