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 49.545452 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.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its impressive grades, we awarded this nursing home an B+ for inspections. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. We looked at the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our score in this category. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we looked at was short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in this category. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. It doesn't appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
