Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

On top of performing well overall, this nursing home earned a very good long-term care grade as well. It earned one of our better scores in that category with a B+. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 88.57143 percent of its patients. This is a bit below what we were hoping for. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of B. It outperformed most facilities in this area. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility earned a very good inspection report this year as well. For this reason, it earned one of our higher scores in that category with a B. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final area we rated was nursing. We awarded this nursing home one of our better scores in this area, with a grade of B. This nursing home ended up being very solid across the board. Our nursing rating is based on a handful of data points, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place 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 prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
