Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this nursing home's nursing rating exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. There are a variety of subcategories within this category. Many of the criteria are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a respectable grade in the area of long-term care, with a C. Long-term care grades are vital for residents requiring personal care. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to our fourth area, this nursing home was awarded a grade of C for short-term care, which is a decent grade. Short-term care scores are crucial for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 3.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
