Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home received an A+ inspection rating. This score is based on its recent government inspections. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. Our inspection ratings are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility truly excelled in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Only a select group of nursing homes performed more favorably in this category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.619774 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we analyzed was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to the last area, this nursing home was given a respectable nursing score. Even though this was not as dominant as a few of its other category grades, this is still not a bad grade. The nursing score considers several factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
