Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

The main thing propping up this nursing home's profile is its elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this nursing home an A- in that category. The nursing score features a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was awarded a positive short-term care score. Indeed, we gave them a B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our better. In crafting these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next highest area turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a C. In determining our long-term care scores, we scrutinize the assistance with daily living received by a facility's residents. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Moving on the final category of inspections, this ended up not being this nursing home's weakest grade. Inspection scores are based on a nursing home's recent government inspections. We awarded this nursing home a C in this category. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. This facility was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
