Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

One of the reasons this facility performed well overall is that it excelled in nursing, with a B+ in that area. It outpaced many facilities in this area. We assessed the qualifications of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another quality feature for this nursing home is that it was given an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, this ended up being its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to our third area, this nursing home also earned a score of B for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.14792 percent of its residents, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Turning the final category of inspections, we gave this nursing home a C for this category. Inspection scores are tied to many data points found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
