Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is based on the facility's recent inspections. We gave it an A+ for this area, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Adding to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also was given a superb long-term care grade. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. When facilities receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.99666 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility was given its third best category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this category, which is an acceptable score. With our short-term care assessment, we attempt to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next category we analyzed was nursing. We gave this facility a D in nursing, rendering this the nursing home's worst grade. Our nursing grade weighs a handful of factors, however, the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. While this place did not excel in nursing hours, it surprised us in a few of the quality-based metrics in the nursing category, such as avoiding serious falls. This facility performed better than average in this metric, which was one redeeming quality we found in this area.
