Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for our long-term care rating. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 78.77238 percent of its residents. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep 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.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Adding to its impressive category grades, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed as well in this area. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing ratings are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a resident at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The last category we scored was short-term care. We gave this nursing home one of our more favorable grades in this category, with a grade of B. While this was not as favorable as some of its other scores, it is nevertheless a positive grade. Short-term care ratings are crucial for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.
