Nurse Quality

Grade: B

We would like to point out that this nursing home's nursing grade exceeded its overall rating. This nursing home earned a B in this category, which is one of our better grades. Nursing scores are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility's second best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was given a favorable score in our long-term care category. We awarded this nursing home a better than average grade of B in this area. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 94.4206 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to the last area, this facility received an acceptable short-term care grade of C. Our short-term care scores are critical for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
