Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in long-term care, where it received an impressive grade of A. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. 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 99.42857 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared with most nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest area was short-term care, which is the final category we assessed. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of just D. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. It looks like this nursing home was subpar in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
