Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this ended up being a strong facility is that it received a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In this area, we gave this facility an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A-. Our nursing score analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's third most favorable area turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for folks needing more traditional assistance related to activities of daily living. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 69.172935 percent of its patients. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our fourth area, this nursing home was awarded a C in short-term care, which is a decent score. Our short-term care grades are vital for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
