Nurse Quality

Grade: A-plus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received a much better grade for nursing than it received overall. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility 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 typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also performed well in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A. Few nursing homes fared more favorably in this category. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also performed favorably in the category of short-term care, with a strong score of A- in this category. Our short-term care grades are likely more important for residents requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Moving on the last category of inspections, this ended up being this nursing home's worst grade. Inspection grades are based on a facility's recent government inspections. We gave this nursing home a score of D in this category, which is not a very good grade. Since this data is collected by independent inspectors, we tend to take it pretty seriously. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. Generally, you should be especially cautious when considering a nursing home with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular nursing home had one category J or K deficiency, which rank among the worst deficiencies. Lastly, this facility also received large government fines recently.
