Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to point out the fact that this nursing home has received nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also performed well in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of A-. Not many nursing homes performed better in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 96.36364 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. 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 figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most critical for people in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In our last category, this nursing home also received an excellent nursing grade, with a grade of B+. This wrapped up a very impressive profile. Nursing ratings are primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing grades. This facility was relatively weak in two of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care provided.
