Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility was awarded high grades in the category of long-term care as well. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that area with a area of A-. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.82539 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Our last category is short-term care, where we gave this nursing home a C in this category. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is considered to be a reliable assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.
