Long-term Care Quality

This facility's overall grade was propped up by a strong long-term care score. We gave them one of our higher grades in that area, with a B+. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life or death condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

This nursing home also performed well in inspections. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an B+. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. When determining a facility's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Moving on to the last area, this facility was given a grade of B- in short-term care, which is a decent score. In calculating these short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
