Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We awarded this facility a grade of A- for our short-term care score. This score is much more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. In our short-term care grade, we try to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we gave this facility an B+. When calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided 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 facility 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 often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility also received a strong inspection score. Inspection grades are based on the facility's recent inspections. We awarded this nursing home a B in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the fourth category, we awarded this facility a grade of D in long-term care. This was the facility's worst category rating. Of course, this category hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the data points we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 93.20113 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
