Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also gave this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care score. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category ended up being its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of C. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This score is considered to be a useful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last category we looked at is nursing, proved to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in that category. This is one of just a few weak links of a strong profile. When computing our nursing ratings, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This statistic is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
