Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it an impressive grade of A in this area. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home really excelled in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a score of A-. Only a select group of facilities performed better in this category. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was given a favorable long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Switching gears to the last area, this facility received an acceptable nursing score. While this isn't as strong as a few of its other category grades, this is truly a middle of the pack score. Our nursing score is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We especially look at the percentage of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these issues.
