Nurse Quality

Grade: A

To go along with its impressive overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our nursing grade. Our nursing score is primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. 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 facility 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 typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among this facility's other achievements is its elite short-term care score. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of A-. Short-term care scores are vital for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home 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. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Turning to another of this facility's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection score. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an impressive grade of B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we scored ended up being this facility's weakest category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still awarded it a decent grade of C for long-term care. Long-term care grades are vital for patients in need of personal care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.57265 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable figure. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
