Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's best grade came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 91.18705 percent of its patients. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home actually received a solid inspection report this year as well, with few major dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better scores in that category with a B-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. There are many criteria included in this grade. Most of the factors reflect nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we graded is short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.2 percent of its residents returning home.
