Facility Inspections

To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. This is far better than the facility's overall score. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings are not something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

This facility also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility's third highest category ended up being short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are often employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Turning to the next category, this nursing home received a C for long-term care, which is generally a decent rating. Long-term care grades are based in part on a facility's volume of nursing services. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 95.652176 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
