Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

We awarded this nursing home one of our better scores in the area of nursing, with a grade of A+. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This facility also performed well in the area of short-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a score of A+ in that area, which is one of our highest grades. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, we awarded this facility a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our higher grades. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 66.480446 percent of its patients. This is a bit below what we anticipated. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, we were pleased to find nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

The final category we assessed is inspections. We were surprised to find that this nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection score. We gave it a score of just D in this category. This score is not on par with some of this nursing home's other category grades. Inspection scores relate to a nursing home's inspections. Since this information is collected by government inspectors, we weight it pretty heavily. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they created a threat to resident health or safety. Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was assessed significant government fines amounting to over $100,000. This typically signifies that a facility's poor performance spanned more than one year.
