Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this place received a much better grade for long-term care than it did overall. In fact, we gave it one of our highest grades in that category with an A. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.71098 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Our nursing score is primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was given an impressive short-term care score. As a matter of fact, we gave them a B in this area, which is one of our better. In forming these short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we considered in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

The last category we assessed is inspections. We were surprised to find that this nursing home did not receive a favorable inspection grade. We gave it just a just D in this category. Clearly, this grade is not on par with some of this facility's other grades. Inspection scores relate to a nursing home's inspections. Since this information is collected by government inspectors, we weight it pretty heavily. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. Generally, you should be most cautious when considering a facility with severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a threat to patient safety or health. Lastly, this nursing home also received large government fines in the past few years.
