Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

The main thing salvaging this nursing home's profile is its elite nursing grade. We awarded this facility an A- in that category. We looked at the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, as well as the number of hours those nurses were with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This nursing home provides 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 nursing home 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 prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it received a grade of B+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third highest category came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are generally used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we assessed was long-term care. This facility was awarded a C in this area. Our long-term care grades are more critical for folks requiring more traditional services associated with activities of daily living. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 89.18919 percent of its residents for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
