Long-term Care Quality

This facility earned a long-term care rating which is stronger than its overall score. We gave this nursing home a B+ in this category. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. In fact, we gave this facility an B+ for our inspections category. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home received its third most favorable category grade in the category of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this area, which is an acceptable score. Our short-term care scores are presumably most critical for individuals requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home was awarded a grade of C in nursing, which is generally an acceptable score. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
