Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of earning a great overall grade, this nursing home also received an elite nursing grade. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Nursing grades are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Additionally, this facility also was given favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we gave it one of our stronger grades in that area, with a score of B+. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most critical for individuals needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home earned a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to our last category, this facility was given a grade of C for long-term care, which we consider to be an acceptable rating. Our long-term care ratings are pivotal for people looking for non-healthcare services such as personal care. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 95.789474 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
