Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home really excelled in long-term care, where it received a grade of A-. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.166664 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Nursing scores are primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also performed well in our inspection category, which is based on the nursing home's recent inspection reports. We gave it an impressive grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We weren't able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more information about this nursing home. Without deficiency related data, it ended up being a challenge to assess this nursing home in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Moving on to the next category, this facility was given an acceptable short-term care grade of B-. Short-term care grades are generally employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
