Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but it really excelled in nursing care, with an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures 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 nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a resident at least once a day.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This facility's second best category was its inspection rating, where it earned a C. Inspection scores relate to a nursing home's government inspection reports. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This place was hit with 11 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in category J, K or L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to place resident safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility was given its third highest category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this area, which is a decent grade. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to our last area, we awarded this nursing home a D in our long-term care category. This is the facility's least impressive category rating. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated just 84.375 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
