Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received a very favorable inspection score. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. At the end of the day, this is a strong inspection.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an B-. The nursing category consists of several components, many of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area is short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this area. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we assessed is long-term care, which is this facility's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 97.79412 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
