Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility fared well in long-term care. We awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. For residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 90.56604 percent of its patients. This is somewhat lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its impressive profile, this facility also performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, it earned a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that area with an B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable category is its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. Our short-term care scores are considered to be most critical for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Our last area is nursing, in which we gave this nursing home a grade of C in that category. Our nursing score is based on several components, however, the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
