Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home received a nursing score which is stronger than its overall grade. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. There are numerous subcategories included in this category. Many of these subcategories relate to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores was in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outpaced most facilities in this category. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is typically a fair measure of a facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This facility received somewhat favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them a decent score in that area, with a grade of C. Inspection grades are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This nursing home had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our last area, this nursing home really did not perform well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this was its poorest category grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to patient care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 83.72093 percent of its patients. This is multiple points below what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
