Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition to having a decent overall score, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home received favorable nursing marks this year. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a B. This proved to be the facility's top grade. Nursing scores are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home's inspection grade also was better than its overall grade. Due to a quality inspection report this year, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a B. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also awarded this facility a middle of the pack grade in the area of long-term care, with a C. Our long-term care scores are based on the facility's volume of nursing care. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is a very solid percentage. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest area is short-term care, which is the final area we looked at. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. In determining these short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Given its grade in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected here. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
