Nurse Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a great overall grade, this facility really excelled in nursing, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. The nursing grade analyzes a handful of subcategories, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also excelled in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Not many facilities performed better in this category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best area is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 61.741425 percent of its patients. This is many points lower than the national average. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

The last category we looked at is inspections. This was not one of this facility's stronger areas. We gave it a D in this category. Since this data is collected by government inspectors, we tend to take this one very seriously. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. You should be more cautious when considering a facility with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 6 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
