Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility excelled in our short-term care category, with an impressive grade of A- in this category. This really boosted its overall score. In forming our short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility's inspection rating exceeded its overall grade as well. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with a B. This is a notably better score than its overall grade. Our inspection ratings are tied to items located in the a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing grade weighs several factors, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, while this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we scored is long-term care. This nursing home was awarded a grade of C in this category. Long-term care ratings are based on a facility's volume of nursing services. This includes a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
