Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this facility's short-term care rating exceeded its overall score. This nursing home received a B+ in this category, which is a very solid grade. Short-term care scores are important for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes 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 facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home's inspection score exceeded its overall score as well. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a B. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 2 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.

Grade: B

Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received an A+ nursing rating.

This nursing home performed very well when it comes to 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: B-minus

The last category we scored was long-term care. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. For residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 96.52174 percent of its residents. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
