Nurse Quality

Grade: A

In addition to earning a great overall score, this facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. We looked at the levels of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This nursing home provides 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second best category ended up being its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a C in this category. With our long-term care category, we focus more on the amount of services offered by a nursing home, along with some quality metrics. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.776115 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Turning the final category of government inspections, we gave this facility a score of C for our this category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 11 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in category J, K or L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to place resident safety or health in immediate harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
