Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of earning a strong overall grade, this nursing home fared well in short-term care. We awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best grades. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of B+ for that area, which is one of our highest scores. This is one of the few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range which received multiple category grades this high. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was hit with 10 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our more positive scores in our long-term care category as well, with a B. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final category we assessed was nursing, in which this facility received a B. This nursing home proved to be very solid across the board. The nursing score consists of several data points, however, the most important one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
