Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

On top of earning a favorable overall score, this facility also earned a strong short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a B+ in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. The nursing score is based on a host of datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Grade: B

This nursing home earned a B for its inspections rating. This is an above average grade in this category. Inspection ratings are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we scored was long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 97.78598 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
