Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

It should also be noted that this nursing home's nursing grade outpaced its overall score. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its nursing grade, which is one of our better scores. There are several factors included in this category. Many of the datapoints reflect nurse staffing. 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 facility performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We also gave this nursing home a favorable grade in long-term care. This facility received a B+ in this area, which happens to be one of our higher scores. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.832214 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

This nursing home's inspection grade appears to be one of its best features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates it avoided the more serious classes of deficiencies. We really didn't find anything on this facility's inspection reports to be overly concerning.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we graded was short-term care, which was a low point for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of just D in our short-term care category. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Based on its poor score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover this place provides substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
