Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home earned a short-term care score which is better than its overall grade. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. With our short-term care category, we try to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. We gave this facility an B+ for our inspections category. Inspection ratings are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspections. Nursing homes that score well in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. We analyzed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to the final area, this facility really did not perform very well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is this nursing home's weakest category grade. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 88.6747 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
