Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home earned a long-term care rating which is stronger than its overall score. We gave this facility a grade of B in this category. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a life or death illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of B- for our inspections rating. This is a very respectable nursing score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. There are a number of criteria included in this area. Most of these criteria reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

The final category we assessed is short-term care. We awarded it a C in that category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. Our short-term care ratings are important for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this also impacted quality of care. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
