Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received a much better grade for nursing than it received overall. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A-. When determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

We would also like to point out this facility's strong inspection grade. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was given its next most favorable category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this category, which is a respectable score. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest category was long-term care, which is the final area we looked at. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 94.776115 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
