Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

While we didn't give this facility a good overall grade, we did give it a strong grade in the area of nursing, where it earned a B+. Our nursing score is mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of 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: B

Additionally, we gave this facility a grade of B in our short-term care category. This is one of our better grades. With our short-term care grade, we endeavor to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility's third highest score is long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 58.808933 percent of its patients. This is several points lower than what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

The last category we looked at was inspections. This facility did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. As a result, we gave it an F here. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection score, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This particular nursing home had 2 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed large government fines recently totaling over $100,000. This generally suggests that a facility's poor track record spanned several years.
