Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility earned a much better grade for short-term care than it received overall. In fact, it received one of our best scores in that category with an A-. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing scores are mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This nursing home's inspection grade appears to be one of its best features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Our inspection grades are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. We didn't consider anything on this place's inspection reports to be too alarming.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we graded was long-term care, proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 82.49337 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is quite a few points less than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
