Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall rating, this facility fared even better in our inspections category which is associated with the nursing home's recent inspections. We gave it an A+ for that area, which is one of our best scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. It doesn't look like we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Without deficiency related data for this nursing home, it was a challenge to evaluate it in the inspections category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's quality category scores came in the category of short-term care. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a score of B+. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Our nursing rating assesses quite a few components, but the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving residents more often.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last category is long-term care, in which we gave this nursing home a grade of C in that area. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 11.409396 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is quite a bit lower than what we expected. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
