Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also earned excellent government inspections recently. We gave it one of our highest grades in that category, with a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also wanted to alert you to the fact that this facility was given an elite score of A in our long-term care area. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 60 percent of its patients. This is a bit lower than we expected. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also strong in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most facilities in this category. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next category we rated is nursing. In this category, we gave this nursing home an above average grade of B. Nursing ratings are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
