Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

On top of being a strong nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its strong performance in other categories, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+ for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving patients even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third most favorable category was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. Short-term care grades are meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we rated was long-term care. This facility received a grade of B- in the area. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 50.537636 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is quite a bit below average. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
