Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its favorable overall performance, we gave this place an A- for the area of inspections. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also was awarded a superb short-term care grade. We gave them a strong grade of A- in this category. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to our next area, this nursing home also earned a grade of B for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average grade 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 assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The last area we looked at is nursing. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a very solid grade of B. When determining our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home averages 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 place 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 many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
