Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an A+ long-term care grade. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 73.81703 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize this facility's nearly flawless health inspections recently. We gave them an A in this category. Our inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's inspections. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

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 grade is primarily tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we graded was short-term care, which ended up being a weak link for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a D in our short-term care category, making this the nursing home's least impressive grade. We'd nevertheless suggest that you consider all of a facility's category grades. Short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we learned that this facility provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
