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-. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Illinois in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a resident at least once a day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a B- for our inspections rating. This is more impressive than its overall grade. Inspection grades are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third best area we awarded this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the last category we scored. In this category, we gave this facility a grade of D. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated only 83.98058 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
