Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We would like to note that this facility received favorable marks in our short-term care rating this year. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a B+. This proved to be the nursing home's top score and helped its profile overall. Short-term care grades are often employed to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection score was strong as well. In fact, we gave it a B for inspections, which is one of our better grades. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 11 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. Our nursing grade is based on a handful of factors, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 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: C

Turning to the final category, this nursing home was awarded a grade of C for long-term care, which is generally a decent rating. Our long-term care grades are more important for folks requiring more conventional assistance associated with activities of daily living. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 91.0828 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be a bit lower than we expected but still a respectable figure. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
