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 99.56236 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 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among this facility's other strengths is its first-rate short-term care grade. We awarded them one of our most impressive scores in that category, with a grade of A-. 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 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final area we scored ended up being this nursing home's worst area. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of C in nursing. The nursing category is based on a handful of data points, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are indicators of the quality of nursing care.
