Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We gave this nursing home one of our better grades in the area of short-term care, where it earned an impressive grade of A+. This is notably better than the facility's overall grade, which was certainly not elite. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we were able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without having the deficiency data for this facility, it is difficult to assess the place in this area.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. We weighed the levels of nurses at the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this area. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our last area, this facility really didn't perform very well. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is its weakest area. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 97.333336 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
