Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility really excelled in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it an impressive grade of A for that area. This saved its overall profile. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed as well in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means CMS didn't 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this facility an impressive grade of D. Nursing scores are tied to nurse staffing levels. With only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we rated is short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive category. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously concerning. In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is more often than not a reliable measure of a facility's rehabilitation. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
