Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that area, with an A. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we gave this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This is one of our more favorable grades. In determining these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In determining our nursing ratings, we factor in both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to our fourth category, this nursing home was given a C for long-term care, which is a respectable grade. In determining these long-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's personal care services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated a relatively low 78.531075 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
