Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility's short-term care grade is more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong performance in this category, it received one of our better grades in that area with a B+. With our short-term care category, we attempt to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an B. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. Our inspection grades are tied to many pieces of information located in 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. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we looked at is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 98.9011 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
