Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home received a nursing score which is stronger than its overall grade. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our short-term care category. This happens to be one of our better scores. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home earned a solid inspection report this year as well, with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a score of B-. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we looked at was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's personal care instead of the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated just 89.79592 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
