Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this ended up being a quality facility is that it received an impressive inspection rating. Inspections is its best category. In that category, we awarded it an A-. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We were not able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Without complete deficiency data for this facility, it is difficult to grade it in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this nursing home also received favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded it one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of B+. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 93.19287 percent of its patients against pneumonia. 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 figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. There are numerous datapoints within this area. Most of the factors are tied to staffing levels. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to our final area, this facility received a respectable short-term care grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are probably most critical for residents requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
