Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this facility also earned an elite long-term care grade. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an A-. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.870056 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our better grades in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. With our short-term care score, we try to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next area we rated was nursing. This facility was awarded an above average nursing rating in our assessment, with a grade of B. This nursing home truly did not have any weak grades. Our nursing score includes many factors, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
