Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

It should also be noted that this facility's long-term care rating was better than its overall grade. We gave it a B for its long-term care score, which is one of our better scores. This really propped up its overall grade. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 81.34796 percent of its residents. This is a few points less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable category was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road score in this category. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

In the last area of inspections, we gave this facility a C for this category. Inspection grades 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 facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you that it dodged the more serious categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
