Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in this area with an A-. Inspection scores are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this area. Short-term care grades are typically used to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we analyzed is long-term care. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. Long-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of care. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 97.77778 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
