Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to earning a strong overall score, this nursing home performed well in short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspections. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. The nursing grade analyzes a handful of factors, however, the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. 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 nursing home 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 prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we rated is long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in that area. Of course, this score hurt the facility's overall profile to some degree. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.60465 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
