Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We gave this nursing home one of our better scores in nursing, with an A-. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. The nursing score is based on a variety of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was given an impressive score in our short-term care category. We awarded this nursing home a better than average grade of B+ in this category. With our short-term care score, we endeavor to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

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. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. A single deficiency isn't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's least impressive category is long-term care, which is the final area we analyzed. In this category, we gave this nursing home a D. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 84.039085 percent of its residents. This is quite a bit below what we expected. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
