Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a strong facility overall, this facility excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few facilities fared better in that category. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's quality category grades came in the area of long-term care. We gave them one of our stronger grades in that area, with a score of B. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to the next category, this nursing home was given an acceptable short-term care score of C. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. We were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
