Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in long-term care, where it received an impressive grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 40.705128 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition, this nursing home received excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with an A-. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate 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-plus

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Our nursing grade includes many factors, but the paramount one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at 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 Tennessee in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving patients at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we graded was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a solid score in this area, with a grade of C. While this isn't as favorable as several of this nursing home's other scores, it is still not a major area of concern. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
