Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Adding to its top-shelf assessments in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for its long-term care grade. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 96.75676 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also received a fine short-term care grade. In fact, this turned out to be this nursing home's third best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of A-. In calculating these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Moving on to the next category, this facility received a very strong nursing grade. We gave it a grade of A- in that area, rounding out a straight A profile. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of skill of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
