Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in nursing, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We looked at the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility also excelled in inspections. In fact, we awarded it an B+ for that area. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we assessed was long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a decent grade of B-. Our long-term care scores are more important for individuals needing more traditional services related to personal care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.43503 percent of its residents. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we rated is short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in that area. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 3.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
