Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really fared well in long-term care, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes did better in this category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.25327 percent of its patients, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes.

This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Grade: C

The third highest area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a C.

These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. It doesn't look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst category is nursing, which is the final category we looked at. For this category, we gave this nursing home a D. Nursing ratings are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
