Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk 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

Additionally, we also wanted to note that this nursing home was awarded favorable long-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of B+. This turned out to be the facility's second strongest score. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.03381 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a solid score in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. It does not appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we looked at was nursing. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is a poor score. This is obviously a major concern. Our nursing score is mostly based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
