Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this facility performed well in short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. Our short-term care grades are believed to be most critical for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. This facility excelled in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered more care from physical therapists and registered nurses than the average nursing home. This is generally an excellent sign. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of facilities with 59 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Our nursing grade features several subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is higher than what is offered by most nursing homes. Finally, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we scored was long-term care. We gave it a B- in that category. This is a decent grade in this category. With our long-term care rating, we focus more on the quantity of services provided by a facility, along with a series of quality statistics. In addition to offering very solid levels of nurse staffing, this facility gave the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. This combination proved to be effective as this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 1.94 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than the majority of nursing homes since it had some more complex patients.
