Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ in the area of long-term care. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.42363 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed as well in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. There are a host of datapoints within this area. Many of the factors are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to our fourth area, this nursing home was given a decent short-term care score. Even though this was not nearly as elite as several of its other grades, this is really not a bad grade. With our short-term care grade, we seek to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
