Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this nursing home received an impressive grade of A in our long-term care category. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 91.666664 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

To complement its first-rate accomplishments in other areas, we gave this facility a score of A- for its short-term care grade. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B for our inspections rating. When calculating a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Turning to the last category we assessed, this nursing home earned a good score in the area of inspections as well. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
