Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this facility also received an impressive long-term care rating this year. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of B+. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 65.21739 percent of its patients against pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its impressive profile, this nursing home also performed at a high level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an B+. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to our third area, this facility also received a grade of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this category. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we analyzed was nursing. For that category, we awarded this facility a B-. In calculating a facility's nursing grade, we look at the amount of time nurses spend with residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility averages just 0 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Finally, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this subcategory.
