Nurse Quality

To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for our nursing rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. The nursing rating is based on a handful of components, however, the main consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics 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 generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a patient at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Additionally, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+ in our short-term care category. This is one of our more favorable grades. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

This nursing home earned its third best score in the area of inspections. Inspection grades are based on a nursing home's recent government inspection reports. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This place was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that this facility avoided the more significant categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality

The final category we graded was long-term care, which was this facility's weakest area. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. Unfortunately, this score hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.36066 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
