Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this ended up being a strong nursing home is that it received an impressive inspection rating. Inspections is its best category. In that category, we gave it an A. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a 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: B-plus

An additional strong feature for this nursing home is that it was given a very positive long-term care score. In fact, this ended up being its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 86.13445 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is a bit lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. Our nursing score analyzes several factors, however, the most important consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next area we scored is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home one of our higher scores in that area, with a B. This facility turned out to be relatively strong across the board. Short-term care scores are important for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
