Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home received a favorable short-term care grade this year. We gave them a strong score in that area, with a B+. This is a better grade than the nursing home's overall grade and was a boost to its overall profile. Short-term care grades are commonly used to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing, where it earned a grade of B. Nursing scores are largely based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' 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

This nursing home was awarded its next highest category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care instead of the skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 92.9078 percent of its residents against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

In the last category we looked at, we found that this nursing home received a solid inspection report this year as well. As a result, it received a decent grade in our inspection category with a B-. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor dings aren't something to panic about.
