Facility Inspections

To pair with its favorable overall score, we gave this nursing home an A+ for the area of inspections. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility also was given a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a dangerous ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The next area we analyzed was short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down 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 were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality

Moving on to our final area, this nursing home was awarded a C in nursing, which is generally a respectable grade. Our nursing score is mostly based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We especially like to look at the percentage of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these issues.
