Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A-. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another quality feature for this nursing home is that it received an impressive short-term care score. In fact, this proved to be its second best category score. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. Short-term care grades are often used to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. There are a variety of subcategories within this area. Many of the subcategories relate to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' 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

The last category we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this category. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
