Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections rating. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

An additional quality feature for this facility is that it was awarded an above average long-term care grade. Indeed, this proved to be its second best category score. In that category, we awarded this facility a B. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 74.5098 percent of its residents. This is a bit less than we were hoping for. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, we were pleased to find nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best area was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is often a fair assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. It does not appear that this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we rated is nursing. This nursing home was awarded a B- for the category. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We look at the percentage of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these problems.
