Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This place really excelled in the area of long-term care, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. If it wasn't for this grade, this nursing home's overall score would have been lower. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.03524 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home's inspection score exceeded its overall grade as well. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with a B. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Our nursing grade is based on a host of factors. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 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 nursing home 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our final area is short-term care, in which we gave this facility a C in this area. Our short-term care grades are thought to be most important for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
