Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We gave this nursing home a grade of A for our long-term care score. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.97959 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. 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 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also performed well in the area of inspections. It received one of our highest scores in that area with an B+. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of short-term care, this facility was given just a D in that category. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With a grade this poor in this category, we were not shocked to learn that this place was well below average in many staffing areas we focus on. It supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's worst category was nursing, which is the last category we scored. We gave it an F for this category. Even with some acceptable grades in other categories, this grade is still disappointing so we would like to to draw your attention to it. We weighed the qualifications of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This number is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
