Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility earned an excellent inspection report. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility also received a very strong long-term care grade. This actually turned out to be its second most impressive category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 97.343956 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our stronger grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B+. Our short-term care ratings are likely most meaningful for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next area we scored is nursing, in which this nursing home was given a grade of B. Believe it or not, this turned out to be this facility's worst area. A nursing home could be doing a lot worse when their poorest score still is superior to most facilities. Our nursing grade looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
