Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ short-term care grade. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most critical for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A. The nursing rating features a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 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

Turning to our inspection category, it appears this facility has earned respectable inspections in recent years as well. We gave it a B- in this category. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we assessed ended up being this facility's worst category. However, even in its worst category we still gave it a decent grade of C in long-term care. In the category of long-term care, we focus on the quantity of services provided by a facility, rather than more medically-intensive services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 98.07692 percent of its residents, which is an above average datapoint. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
