Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a strong nursing home overall, this facility excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A+. Few facilities fared better in that area. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 10 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was given a grade of B. It performed better than most nursing homes in this category. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.109825 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home was given its third highest category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this category, which is a decent score. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We weren't able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we looked at is nursing. In this category, we gave this facility a B-. We analyzed the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with patients, in computing our rating in this area. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care offered.
