Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+.

Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning residents more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our last area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our short-term care grade. This topped off a very favorable profile. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 3.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
