Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

One of the main reasons this turned out to be a strong facility is that it earned a very impressive long-term care grade. In fact, long-term care ended up being its best category. In that area, we gave this facility an A+. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

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. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. While this wasn't quite as good as some of its other category grades, this isn't a bad score either. The nursing grade is based on many factors, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we graded is short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst area. We gave this facility a D in this category. Sadly, this category hurt the nursing home's overall grade a bit. In determining our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is considered to be a solid assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it offers less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.5 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below average.
