Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

It should also be noted that this nursing home' short-term care grade outperformed its overall score. In fact, we gave it a B+ for short-term care. In forming our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an B+. The nursing category consists of quite a few factors, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a patient more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this nursing home a positive grade in long-term care. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which happens to be one of our better scores. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 93.9759 percent of its residents, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

In our last category of inspections, we gave this facility a score of D. This turned out to be this nursing home's worst grade and it really pulled its overall grade down. Our inspection rating is based on the nursing home's government inspections. Since the information is collected by government inspectors, we weight it heavily in our assessment. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. We would scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home had 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we also want to point out that this facility was assessed large government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This often indicates that a facility's bad performance has been an issue for more than one year.
