Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home's best category grade came in short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. In our short-term care rating, we seek to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Our nursing score is largely based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. We would argue that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our last category, this facility did not fare well. With an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is this facility's worst grade. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated just 85.273155 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
