Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. We weren't able to find deficiency data for this facility. Without having access to all of the information regarding deficiencies for this facility, it was challenging to really assess it in the area of inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a decent grade in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are more important for patients in need of more conventional services associated with personal care. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated a relatively low 81.37255 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. There are many subcategories included in this area. Most of the subcategories relate to nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving residents even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we scored was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is not a bad grade in this category. Short-term care scores are critical for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
