Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of faring well overall, this facility earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Therefore, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A+. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We weren't able to track down information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this nursing home. Without complete deficiency data, it ended up being a challenge to grade the place in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also received a very favorable short-term care score. We gave them an impressive strong of A in this category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 6.4 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Our nursing score is based on many subcategories, most of which are associated with nursing hours. 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. Finally, nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we assessed was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this area. However, we wouldn't assess this nursing home based solely on one bad category, as it earned a few impressive grades in other areas. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.71795 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
