Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this ended up being a strong facility is that it received a very impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that area, we gave it an A-. Our inspection ratings are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Among its many impressive scores, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in that area. Nursing scores are primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable category is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this category. Our long-term care scores are more critical for residents in need of more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Switching gears to our last category, this nursing home was awarded a grade of B- for short-term care, which is generally a decent grade. In computing these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 2.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
