Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility really excelled in the category of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest grades. This salvaged its profile. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home's inspection rating exceeded its overall grade as well. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a B. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third best category was long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a C. For long-term care residents, the primary goal 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. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded was nursing. We awarded it a C in that area. This is a fair grade in this area. The nursing rating weighs a number of factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place.
