Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of earning a strong overall grade, this nursing home performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the nursing home's recent government inspection reports. We gave it an A for this category, which is one of our highest grades. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A-. In determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, this facility also received favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we gave them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. 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 patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we looked at was short-term care, in which this facility was given a grade of B-. This actually turned out to be this facility's worst area. This is still not a terrible score. Our short-term care ratings are likely more important for people in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
