Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to earning a great overall score, this facility excelled at short-term care. In fact, we gave it an A for that category. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive category scores, this nursing home excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed as well in this area. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Our nursing grade weighs a variety of subcategories. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. 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 place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we graded is long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B-. Even though this proved to be its lowest category score, this is still a middle of the pack score. In determining these long-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's personal care services. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
