Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This place earned a very favorable short-term care rating. Its short-term care score ended up being its best category. We gave this them a grade of B+. In calculating our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. This proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an B. Our nursing score assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

We would also like to draw your attention to this facility's strong inspection rating. This facility earned a B in this category, which is one of our better grades. Inspection scores are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area tend to 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 nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we looked at was long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in the area of long-term care, making this the facility's least impressive category. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
