Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this area. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Moving on to the last area, this facility was given an acceptable long-term care grade. While this was not quite as impressive as several of its other grades, this is truly not a poor grade. Our long-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's volume of nursing services. This means a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.47328 percent of its residents, which is higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this place 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.
