Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home really excelled in our short-term care category, with an A- in this area. This really propped up its overall grade. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility also excelled in inspections, where it earned an B+. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is as good as it gets in this category. Our nursing grade consists of many factors, many of which are based on nursing hours. 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 many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we looked at was long-term care. It received an F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. This is obviously a significant disappointment. For patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 94.5946 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
