Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall score, this place also earned first-rate government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its strong performance in other areas, we gave this facility an B+ for nursing. Nursing ratings are primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place 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 nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning a patient more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was given a score of B. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this area. Our short-term care grades are thought to be most important for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home was awarded a grade of C in this area. In crafting these long-term care ratings, we assess the facility's personal care services. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 65.68214 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly below what we expected. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
