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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's quality category grades came in the area of short-term care. We awarded them one of our stronger scores in that category, with a grade of B+. Our short-term care ratings are critical for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we gave them one of our more positive scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 95.93496 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we looked at ended up being this nursing home's poorest category. However, even in its worst category we still gave it a respectable grade of B- for our nursing category. Our nursing grade analyzes quite a few components, but the most important one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Lastly, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are indicators of the quality of nursing care.
