Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded this facility an A+ for inspections. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find deficiency data for this facility. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home was awarded a strong long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our higher grades in that area with a grade of B+. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.53704 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we awarded them one of our better scores in our short-term care category as well, with a B. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility 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. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next area we scored was nursing. In this category, we gave this facility an above average grade of B. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses worked with patients, in determining our rating in this area. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This facility fared well in some of the quality measures we looked at. For example, in terms of the number of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented with better nursing care.
