Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home earned a strong overall score as discussed above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent long-term care rating. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 73.03371 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections. We awarded it a grade of A- for that area. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We weren't able to find deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. When computing our nursing ratings, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we graded was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that area. With our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
