Grade: A

To pair with its favorable overall performance, we awarded this place an A for our inspections rating. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. It does not appear that we have information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without information regarding deficiencies for this facility, it was challenging to really assess the place in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

An additional strong feature for this nursing home is that it was given a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, this ended up being its second best category score. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. In computing our short-term care ratings, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is more often than not a reliable assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last category is long-term care, where we awarded this facility a C in that area. Our long-term care grades are more important for individuals requiring more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated only 70.33898 percent of its patients for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
