Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility's best category grade came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. Our short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. We awarded this nursing home an B+ for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, 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: C

Turning to the fourth category, this nursing home received a grade of C for long-term care, which we consider to be a respectable rating. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this facility vaccinated just 79.536674 percent of its patients, which is slightly concerning. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
