Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To pair with its great overall grade, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for inspections. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on 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 severe deficiencies. This facility received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also was strong in the category of short-term care, where it received a grade of A-. Not many nursing homes performed better in this area. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our better scores in our long-term care category as well, with a B+. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Switching gears to the last area, this nursing home was awarded a high-end nursing grade. We gave it a grade of B+ in this category, completing one of our finer profiles. The nursing rating assesses a handful of data points, however, the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
