Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we gave this facility an impressive grade of A- for short-term care. In determining these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless inspections recently. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this area. Our inspection scores are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. There are a number of factors included in this category. Most of the datapoints reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place 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 generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed is long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is a very poor score. We wouldn't necessarily disqualify a facility because of one terrible score though. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated just 82.666664 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
