Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

On top of having a decent overall rating, we also want to point out that this place received favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in this area, with a B+. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B in that category, which is one of our better scores. Nursing ratings are largely tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we graded is short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B- in this area. In computing our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is typically a reliable measure of a facility's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to our fourth category, this facility was awarded a B- for long-term care, which we consider to be a decent rating. With our long-term care assessment, we focus on the amount of services provided by a facility, as well as some qualitative statistics. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.39744 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
