Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a great overall rating, this nursing home also earned an A+ inspection grade. This is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this area is one of the highest complements we can offer a facility. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat 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: A-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so favorably is that it received a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, long-term care ended up being its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home a score of A-. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility was given an impressive short-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that category with a score of B. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst area was nursing, which is the last category we looked at. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. We wanted to draw your attention to this possible weak spot, however, you should not focus exclusively on a single area either. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. While this nursing home's nursing hours were below average, it surprised us in some of the qualitative statistics in this category. In particular, we were pleased to see that its patients are suffering fewer pressure ulcers than the national average.
