Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of faring well in its overall grade, this nursing home received even higher grades in the category of short-term care. It earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It does not appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also performed well in inspections. In fact, it earned a nearly flawless inspection report this year. It received one of our best grades in that area with an B+. Few nursing homes with an overall grade in this range performed this well in multiple categories. Inspection ratings are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's inspections. Nursing homes that score well in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to the third area, this facility also received a grade of B for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this area. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 95.454544 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we looked at was nursing. This facility received a C in this area. The nursing grade weighs a handful of factors, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing ratings. This nursing home was relatively weak in a few of the major metrics we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are often reliable measures of the quality of nursing care offered.
