Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent short-term care grade. We awarded them an A in this category. In forming our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility also excelled in inspections. In fact, we awarded it an B+ for that category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Nursing ratings are largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we graded was long-term care, which was a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a grade of D for long-term care, making this the facility's weakest grade. We would still suggest that you consider all of a nursing home's grades. 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. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
