Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this facility's long-term care score exceeded its overall grade. This nursing home earned a B+ in this area. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 96.89579 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an B+. Few nursing homes performed as well in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this subcategory. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving residents at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to our last category, this facility received a respectable short-term care grade of C. Our short-term care grades are likely most critical for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
