Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a strong facility overall, it also earned A+ government inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 2 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

Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its top-shelf long-term care score. We awarded them one of our best scores in that area, with a score of A. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.578316 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. The nursing score includes a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a patient more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we rated was short-term care. We gave it an F in this area, which is an abysmal grade. We would not necessarily rule out a nursing home as a result of a single terrible grade though. Short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we learned that this nursing home offers less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.2 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
