Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall performance, we gave this place an A for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident 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-minus

This facility was given high scores in the area of long-term care as well. As a result, it received one of our strongest grades in that category with a area of A-. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 27.142857 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points below what we anticipated but still a decent percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next highest category turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Our next category is nursing, in which we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that category. Our nursing score weighs several subcategories, but the main one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is well below average. Finally, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
