Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of performing well in its overall score, this nursing home earned even higher grades in the area of long-term care. In fact, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A-. In a long-term care setting, the 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 residents. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 80 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was awarded an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this area. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint 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 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

In addition, this facility earned a very good government inspection report this year as well. It earned one of our better grades in that category with a B. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The last category we graded is nursing, where this nursing home received a grade of B. This facility ended up being relatively strong in each area we assessed. Nursing scores are mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Massachusetts in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning patients more frequently.
