Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98.86793 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition, this facility received top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an A. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we looked at is short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. It does not appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to our final area, this facility was awarded a decent nursing grade. Even though this isn't quite as impressive as several of its other grades, this is still not a bad grade. When computing our nursing scores, we factor in both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Finally, our nursing grades also consider some quality-focused statistics. We especially look at the percent of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
