Nurse Quality

Grade: B

It should also be noted that this nursing home's nursing score outpaced its overall grade. We gave it a B for its nursing grade, which is one of our better scores. In computing our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we awarded this facility a B in our short-term care category. This is one of our better scores. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home's inspection rating also was quite a bit better than its overall grade. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it earned one of our better scores in that category with a B. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to our next area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of long-term care. This is the facility's weakest category grade. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
