Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our nursing rating consists of quite a few subcategories, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to the third category, this nursing home also received a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more important for folks needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we assessed is this nursing home's poorest area. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still gave it an acceptable grade of C for long-term care. Our long-term care grades are essential for residents looking for non-healthcare services such as personal care. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 92.52336 percent of its patients for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
