Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our long-term care grade. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 87.57397 percent of its patients. This is somewhat less than we expected. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent government inspections. Places that score well in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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 category we analyzed was short-term care. This nursing home received a very positive short-term care score, with a B+ in this area. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is frequently a useful measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to the final area, this nursing home was awarded an acceptable nursing grade of C. Our nursing score consists of quite a few data points, but the main consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
