Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home excelled in our short-term care rating, with an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our short-term care grades are vital for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing score weighs many datapoints, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility's least impressive area is long-term care, which is the final category we assessed. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of D. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 91.57608 percent of its residents, which is somewhat lower than we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
