Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

To pair with its strong overall score, we gave this facility an impressive grade of A for our short-term care grade. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 7.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Contributing to its profile, this nursing home also received a score of B for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Nursing grades are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.5 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Turning to the last category of inspections, this was not one of this nursing home's better grades. Inspection grades are based on a facility's recent inspection reports. We gave this facility a C in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 7 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in category J, K or L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to put patient health or safety in immediate harm or jeopardy. In the bigger picture, this inspection report definitely could be much worse.
