Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of earning a strong overall score, this nursing home also received an elite short-term care grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an A. Short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 6.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home also received impressive government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in that area, with a B. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we scored is long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's weakest area. It received a lowly F in this area, which is clearly a bit of a concern. For patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 95.60439 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
