Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home's best category score came in nursing. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. It outpaced most nursing homes in this category. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses were with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a solid grade in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Our long-term care grades are more important for individuals needing more traditional assistance related to activities of daily living. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 95.51282 percent of its patients. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home was awarded its third most favorable category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a C in this area, which is a respectable grade. With our short-term care score, we strive to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

The last category we looked at is inspections. The facility received a C in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This indicates it dodged the more significant categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
