Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this facility also received an elite long-term care grade. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an A. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's impressive category scores came in the category of short-term care. We awarded them one of our more positive grades in that category, with a grade of B+. In our short-term care grade, we strive to create a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

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+. In determining our nursing ratings, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Turning to our inspection category, it appears this nursing home has received quality inspections in recent years as well. We gave it a score of B in this area. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
