Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of being a first rate facility overall, this facility also fared well in the area of long-term care, where it earned a grade of A. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 96 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to this nursing home's impressive resume, we gave this facility a grade of A for inspections. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our nursing grade is based on a handful of factors, however, the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final area we rated is short-term care. This nursing home received a favorable nursing score this year, with a B. While this is not nearly as elite as some of its other grades, this remains one of our better grades in that area. With our short-term care score, we try to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
