Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a strong facility overall, this facility also excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Not many facilities fared better in that area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. We weren't able to find deficiency data for this facility. We wish we had more information about this nursing home. Without having the information regarding deficiencies, it was a challenge to really evaluate it in terms of this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our nursing grade is mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the area of short-term care, where it was given a score of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this area. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more important for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we looked at was long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility an acceptable grade of B-. This was this nursing home's least impressive category. Long-term care grades assess a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled nursing and healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 87.40458 percent of its patients. This is several points below the national average. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
