Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility's nursing score outpaced its overall rating. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ for its nursing grade. Our nursing grade is largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to 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-minus

Surprisingly, this nursing home actually received a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we gave it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home was awarded its third highest category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is an acceptable grade. In calculating our long-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's personal care services. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 92.50457 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we rated is short-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
