Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this facility fared even better in our inspections category which is based on the facility's recent inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home really excelled in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Not many facilities performed more favorably in this category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.18367 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facilities next best area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this category. In our short-term care score, we seek to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last area we scored was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is a decent grade in this category. There are a variety of criteria within this grade. Many of these factors reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is well below average. Lastly, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percentage of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
