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. Inspection grades are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among this nursing home's other strengths is its first-rate long-term care grade. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of A-. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 77.16049 percent of its patients for pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, we were pleased to find nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this area. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our fourth area, this facility was given a decent short-term care rating. Even though this was not nearly as dominant as several of its other scores, this is truly nothing to be ashamed of. Our short-term care scores are vital for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
