Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility's best category grade came in our short-term care category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B+. It actually outperformed many nursing homes in this category. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually performed better than most nursing homes in this category. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 89.18129 percent of its residents. This is slightly lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep 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.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home also earned a strong inspection score. Inspection grades are based on the facility's recent inspections. We awarded this facility a score of B in this area. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we assessed is nursing. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this category. In calculating our nursing ratings, we analyze both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
