Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

It should also be noted that this nursing home' short-term care score outperformed its overall grade. In fact, we gave it a B+ for short-term care. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. It does not appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 6.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also received a strong long-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we awarded them a B in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. After considering the volume of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. There are numerous datapoints included in this area. Many of the criteria are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 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 place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Finally, turning to inspections, we gave this facility a C. Our inspection grade is based on the facility's inspections. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. This place had 14 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This means that inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We really didn't consider anything on this place's inspection report to be overly concerning.
