Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our long-term care grade. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 92.63804 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand 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 a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed as well in this category. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Our nursing score weighs a handful of datapoints, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we rated was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a D for our short-term care category, making this its worst area. Short-term care grades are often used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. We found that this nursing home was below average in many staffing areas we looked at. The facility offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 2.7 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
