Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this facility excelled in the area of short-term care, where it earned an A-. Short-term care scores are meaningful for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Building on its strong performance in other categories, we gave this nursing home an B+ for nursing. The nursing score features a variety of datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. 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 facility 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 often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The third category we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home was given an impressive long-term care grade, with a grade of B in the category. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 91.065834 percent of its patients, which is a few points less than we were hoping for. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Turning our last category, inspections proved to be this facility's worst grade. It received a C in this category. Inspection ratings are based on a nursing home's inspection reports. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. It doesn't look like we were able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
