Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility received even higher grades in long-term care. In fact, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 94.08867 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of B-. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Finally, we also gave this facility a B- for our inspections rating. This nursing home didn't have any major weaknesses. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. 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.
