Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning to the area of long-term care, we gave this facility a grade of A- in that category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.59514 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of short-term care, this nursing home received a grade of just D in this category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We found that this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home really didn't perform very well. Due to an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this was this facility's weakest area. Nursing scores are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This place provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
