Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We gave this facility a solid grade in long-term care, where it received a B. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home's second best category is inspections. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. Inspection grades are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another reason we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is as good as it gets in this area. We weighed the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst area was short-term care, which is the last category we scored. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of just D. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. As you might expect, we learned that this place provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
