Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection grades are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home received impressive long-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in this category, with a B+. This proved to be the nursing home's second highest score. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.5 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. Short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we assessed was nursing. This nursing home received a C in the category. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Lastly, while this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area.
