Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with a favorable overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspection category. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Contributing to this nursing home's list of achievements, it also was awarded a first-rate short-term care score. We awarded them a dominant strong of A- in this category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. It doesn't look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Our nursing category weighs several datapoints, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is well below average. Lastly, nursing ratings also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we scored ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. However, even in its worst category we still gave it a decent grade of B- in our long-term care category. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.74227 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
