Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility fared well in short-term care. In fact, we awarded it an impressive grade of A for that category. With our short-term care category, we seek to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home earned a B for its inspections rating. This is an above average grade in this area. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we scored was long-term care. This facility was awarded a very good long-term care grade in our assessment, with a grade of B-. Although this isn't as dominant as many of its other category grades, this remains a decent score in that area. Long-term care ratings are based on a facility's volume of nursing services. This includes a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 92.30769 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a few points less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
