Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We gave this facility one of our better scores in short-term care, where it received a grade of A. This is notably better than the facility's overall score, which was certainly not elite. With our short-term care assessment, we strive to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We also want to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of B+ in this area. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the number of hours nurses are seeing residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this metric. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of moving a patient even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we analyzed was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in that area. This is a fair grade in this area. Long-term care scores are essential for residents requiring personal care. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.61089 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
