Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility received an elite short-term care grade. We gave this nursing home an A- in this area, which really helped out its overall grade. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is generally a useful measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This facility actually earned a solid inspection report this year as well, with few major dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a B-. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Nursing grades are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This facility averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive area was long-term care, which is the last area we scored. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very solid total. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
