Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We gave this nursing home one of our better scores in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of A-. This is a notably better grade than its overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 96.60194 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also excelled in inspections, where it received an B+. Few nursing homes performed as well in this area. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. The nursing grade is based on numerous datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is well below average. Finally, our nursing ratings also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we looked at is short-term care. For that category, we awarded this facility a C. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
