Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home performed well in long-term care. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Turning to our inspection category, this nursing home excelled in that area, which is based on the facility's recent inspections. We awarded it a grade of A for that category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a 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

Grade: B-plus

Turning to our next category, this facility also earned a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this area. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we assessed is nursing. This nursing home was given a strong nursing score in our assessment, with a B-. While this isn't quite as dominant as some of its other category grades, this is still a respectable grade in that area. Our nursing rating consists of quite a few data points, most of which are based on nursing hours. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. While this facility ranked poorly in terms of the quantity of nursing care offered, it performed admirably in a few of our quality measures. It was above average in two of the areas we look at, with good scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
