Facility Inspections

To pair with a favorable overall grade, we awarded this place an A+ for inspections. Inspection grades are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

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.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home is also strong in the area of long-term care, where it received a score of B+. It outperformed most facilities in this category. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 82.608696 percent of its residents. This is a bit lower than we expected. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

The last category we assessed was short-term care. In this category, we awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B. Short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
