Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

To pair with its strong overall grade, this facility earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. We weighed the qualifications of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also was given a favorable short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this category. Short-term care grades are often used to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this facility is that it excelled in the area of inspections, with a B in that category. It performed better than most facilities in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we rated is long-term care. For this category, we gave this nursing home a B-. Long-term care grades focus on a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 97.484276 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
