Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also earned first-rate health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in this area, with an A+. Our inspection ratings are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Building on its impressive profile, this facility also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an B for that category. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's third most favorable area was its long-term care grade, where it was given a B-. In the area of long-term care, we analyze the quantity of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 93.181816 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. On a more positive note, 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 figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we rated was short-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care grades are vital for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
