Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in this category with an A-. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's long-term care grade is one of its more favorable grades. The nursing home was given a grade of B- in this area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.17355 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third best area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this area. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is considered to be a solid measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we analyzed is nursing. This facility received a C in this area. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses commit to patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
