Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a strong nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that area, we awarded it an A-. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It performed better than most nursing homes in this category. Our short-term care ratings are important for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Nursing scores are primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' 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

The final area we analyzed was long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home an above average grade of B. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 96.25 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
