Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this facility also earned an elite long-term care grade. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of A-. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We also wanted to emphasize this nursing home's nearly flawless inspections recently. We awarded them an B+ in this area. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also was awarded a favorable short-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this category. In determining these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final category we scored is nursing. We gave it a C in this area. This is a decent grade in this area. The nursing grade is based on a host of subcategories. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
