Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this place especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility also was given favorable long-term care grades this year. Indeed, we gave it one of our higher grades in that area, with a score of B+. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 49.347824 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility was awarded an impressive short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B. Our short-term care grade is often employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we scored is nursing. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our nursing rating consists of a handful of subcategories, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below average. Finally, we look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
