Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Our short-term care ratings are important for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We also want to emphasize this nursing home's nearly flawless government inspections recently. We awarded them an impressive grade of B+ in this area. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 5 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics 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 place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning patients at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we graded is long-term care. This nursing home was given an above average long-term care rating this year, with a grade of B-. Even though this wasn't nearly as strong as several of its other scores, this remains a decent score for that category. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 97.61905 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
