Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in that area. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. It doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its profile, this nursing home also earned a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this area. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.42647 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, this facility also was awarded favorable short-term care grades this year. In fact, we gave it one of our better grades in that area, with a grade of B. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we assessed is nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously a bit concerning. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This number is far below the national average. Unfortunately, this place also didn't perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed in this category.
