Nurse Quality

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our nursing grade. The nursing rating weighs a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 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: A

This facility really excelled in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of A. Few facilities performed more favorably in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we try to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we analyzed is long-term care, where this nursing home received a B- in this area. Long-term care grades are typically used to score a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.57576 percent of its residents, which is an above average datapoint. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Lastly, we looked at this facility's inspection rating This was not one of this facility's stronger grades. We gave it a C in this category. This isn't a horrible grade in this category. It simply wasn't as strong as some of this place's other category grades. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled J through L. This indicates the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to place resident safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
