Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a strong nursing home is that it earned an impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In this area, we gave it an A+. Our inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Nursing grades are primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. 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. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was given its third most favorable category score in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent grade. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our next category, this facility was awarded a respectable long-term care score of C. Long-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of care. This means a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.60479 percent of its patients. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
