Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home received a strong overall grade as mentioned above, but we wanted to emphasize its excellent long-term care rating. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 50.409836 percent of its patients, which is a bit below what we anticipated. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. The nursing grade weighs numerous subcategories. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we assessed is short-term care. This nursing home received a grade of C for this area. Our short-term care ratings are probably more critical for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
