Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its nursing grade. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 94.652405 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to this facility's impressive resume, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning the page to our third category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for its short-term care score. This is a superb grade. Short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we scored was nursing, in which this nursing home was given a grade of C. This is this facility's least impressive category. This is still not the end of the world. There are quite a few criteria included in this area. Many of these criteria reflect nurse staffing. 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. Finally, nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.
