Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

To pair with its impressive overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A- for our nursing rating. The nursing score considers a host of factors. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 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 place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was awarded a strong short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home received a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 6 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to our next category, this nursing home received an acceptable long-term care score of C. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 99.08676 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
