Nurse Quality

Grade: A

To pair with its impressive overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A for our nursing score. The nursing rating weighs a variety of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility also performed well in inspections, which is based on the facility's inspection reports. In fact, we gave it an B+ for that category. Our inspection ratings are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspections. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor dings are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to our third category, this facility also received a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we looked at is long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. This actually turned out to be this facility's least impressive area. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's personal care rather than the skilled therapy and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 82.07283 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is several points lower than what we expected. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
