Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility was awarded a favorable long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better scores in that area with a score of B. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 86.111115 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. In determining a facility's nursing grade, we consider the number of hours nurses spend with patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Finally, nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we assessed was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
