Nurse Quality

Grade: A

One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A. The nursing rating consists of quite a few datapoints, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's quality category scores came in the area of long-term care. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in that category, with a grade of B+. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.4382 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also performed at a high level in the area of inspections. It earned a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. It received one of our highest grades in that category with a grade of B+. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we looked at is short-term care. We gave this facility a decent score in that category, with a B-. Although this isn't on par with many of its other scores, it is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
