Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this facility also received top notch inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in this category, with a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. You really can't go wrong with a deficiency-free inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home performed well in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that category, which turns out to be one of our higher scores. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next most favorable category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.47644 percent of its patients, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final area we looked at is nursing, which ended up being this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. Of course, this category hurt the nursing home's overall grade a bit. Our nursing rating is based on several subcategories, however, the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also didn't perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality measures we assessed in this category.
