Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home performed well in our long-term care category. We awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Contributing to this facility's list of accomplishments, it also received a first-rate short-term care grade. We gave them an elite grade of A- in this category. Our short-term care grades are presumably more critical for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Another area of strength for this facility is in the area of inspections. In fact, inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. Our inspection scores are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final category we rated was nursing. In that area, we gave this nursing home an impressive grade of B. Our nursing grade is largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
