Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this facility also received an A+ inspection grade. This is based on its recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the best complements we can offer a facility. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Our nursing grade is mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next area we graded is long-term care. This nursing home was given a favorable long-term care grade, with a grade of B in this category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 97.916664 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we scored was short-term care. In this category, we awarded this facility an acceptable grade of B-. This was this facility's least impressive category. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
