Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its favorable overall grade, we awarded this place a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government 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: B-plus

Additionally, this nursing home also was given favorable long-term care scores this year. Indeed, we gave them one of our stronger scores in that category, with a grade of B+. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 86.28099 percent of its residents. This is slightly lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. 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 a host of subcategories included in this grade. Most of these factors are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. Although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning residents more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we assessed is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is a fair grade in this category. Our short-term care grades are critical for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. 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. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
