Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of performing well in its overall score, this facility earned even higher grades in long-term care. It earned one of our best grades in that area with an A. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 92.2619 percent of its patients. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility also excelled in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of A- for that area, which is one of our highest scores. This is one of the few facilities with an overall score in this range which earned multiple category grades this high. Our inspection ratings are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The third area we assessed is short-term care. This facility was awarded a favorable short-term care grade, with a B+ in the category. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we scored is nursing. In that category, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. This actually ended up being this facility's least impressive area. When computing a facility's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we also considered some quality-based measures in this category. Although this place did not rank highly in terms of nursing hours per resident, it performed better in some of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the number of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, this nursing home fared better than the national average. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented with better nursing care.
