Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home fared well in our short-term care category. We awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our short-term care grades are presumably more meaningful for individuals needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6.8 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility earned excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This facility provided 0.3 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 frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Switching gears to our final area, this facility was awarded a B- for long-term care, which is an acceptable score. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.45355 percent of its residents. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
