Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We gave this facility one of our higher scores in the area of short-term care, where it earned an A+. This is much better than the nursing home's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning to the category of nursing, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- in that area. In calculating our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

This nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection rating. We gave it a D in this area. This grade was off the pace of this nursing home's other grades. Inspection scores relate to a facility's government inspections. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed one category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst categories of deficiencies. Lastly, we want to point out that this place was assessed significant government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This generally means that a facility's poor performance has been an issue for several years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we rated was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. This is obviously a major disappointment. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
