Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its favorable overall score, we gave this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among the reasons we graded this facility so well is that it was given a dominant long-term care grade. Indeed, long-term care turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A-. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this place 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 number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our higher grades in our short-term care category as well, with a B+. Our short-term care grades are crucial for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we looked at is nursing. In that area, we gave this nursing home a decent grade of B-. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. Nursing grades are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared with most nursing homes. Lastly, we also factored some quality measures into our nursing scores. This place was subpar in two of the major metrics we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally measures of the quality of nursing care available.
