Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

It should also be noted that this nursing home's nursing score outpaced its overall score. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its nursing score, which is one of our better scores. The nursing grade includes many subcategories, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home averages 0.5 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores came in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.2332 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's more favorable category grades was in the area of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more meaningful for those needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

In the last category we looked at, we found that this nursing home received a solid government inspection report this year as well, with few major dings from government inspectors. It earned a decent grade in our inspection category with a B-. This nursing home really didn't have any major weak links. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
