Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This place earned a long-term care score which is stronger than its overall grade. We awarded this facility a B+ in this category. This boosted its overall grade. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home's inspection grade also was better than its overall score. Due to a quality inspection report this year, it received one of our better grades in that area with a B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. Nursing scores are largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.
