Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This place really performed well in the area of long-term care, where it received an A. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 98.68421 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility also performed well in the area of inspections. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that area with a score of A-. Our inspection grades are based on several items found on the a nursing home's inspections. Nursing homes that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. 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, which is a decent grade. When determining our nursing scores, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our fourth category, this facility really did not fare well. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is its weakest grade. Short-term care ratings are crucial for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we found that it provided less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
