Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this nursing home a grade of A- for our nursing rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. We weighed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in computing our score in this category. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility 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 state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning a resident more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received a great short-term care score. Indeed, it received one of our most impressive scores in this area with a score of A-. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility also earned favorable inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. This grade is also better than the facility's overall score. Inspection ratings are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we assessed was long-term care, proved to be this facility's weakest category. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. This really was one of just a few dings of a quality report card. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home gave the vaccine to only 70.39848 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
