Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Part of the reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received a very favorable nursing score. Its nursing score is its best category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. There are quite a few factors within this grade. Most of the subcategories relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning residents more often.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home also earned a very favorable inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score proved to be its second best category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we analyzed was short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B- in this area. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we analyzed is long-term care, which is this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a D in that area. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes offer. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home vaccinated just 74.07407 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
