Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with a strong overall grade, we gave this facility a grade of A+ for our inspection category. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its top-shelf assessment, this facility also was awarded an excellent short-term care grade, with a grade of A. With our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 6.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this area. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The last area we analyzed was nursing. We awarded this facility one of our more favorable grades in this category, with a grade of B. Even though this wasn't as favorable as many of its other scores, it is still a positive grade. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses spend with residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a facility provides.
