Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home really excelled in nursing, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best area was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

Looking to our inspection category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our inspection grades are based on the facility's health inspection reports. We believe that one of the most important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. We really did not consider anything on this place's inspection report to be overly alarming.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we scored was long-term care, is this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 89.50276 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be significantly below what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
