Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also earned first-rate health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our best grades in that category, with an A-. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another quality feature for this nursing home is that it was given a very positive long-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In this category, we gave this facility a B+. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 94.79769 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. Nursing scores are mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we analyzed is short-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a C. Short-term care grades are vital for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
