Long-term Care Quality

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home really fared well in long-term care, where it earned an A-. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

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. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

The final area we graded was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in that area. Our short-term care grades are arguably more important for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
