Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this facility also performed well in inspections, which is based on its recent inspection reports. We awarded it an A for that category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

To complement its first-rate achievements in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a score of A for its long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. 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 less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in that category. Our nursing score assesses many components, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The final category we analyzed is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a B. Believe it or not, this is this nursing home's weakest category. A facility could be doing a lot worse when it's worst score still is superior to most nursing homes. Our short-term care grades are vital for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
