Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

It should also be noted that this facility's short-term care score outperformed its overall grade. We awarded it a B+ for its short-term care grade, which is an above average grade. This really helped its overall grade. In crafting our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Inspection scores are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's inspections. Places that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we analyzed is long-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's weakest area. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is certainly concerning. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 95.87629 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
