Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We awarded this nursing home an A- for our short-term care grade. This score is much more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Our short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing ratings are largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Inspections are another area where this nursing home excelled. We gave this facility a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. This score is much more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our final category, this nursing home did not fare very well. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is its poorest category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 78.645836 percent of its patients. This is many points less than the national average. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
