Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility an A- for our short-term care grade. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Turning to another one of this place's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. We gave this nursing home an B+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. The nursing category is based on several components, most of which are associated with nursing hours. 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's least impressive area is long-term care, which is the last category we assessed. For this area, we gave this facility a grade of D. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 95.833336 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
