Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. When calculating our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.5 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 place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also gave this nursing home a grade of A- for our short-term care score. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Moving on to another of this facility's strengths, it also earned a very impressive inspection rating. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. Inspection ratings 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 facility was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest category is long-term care, which is the last area we scored. In this category, we awarded this nursing home an D. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 97.849464 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
