Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its strong overall grade, we gave this place an A+ for our inspection category. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility was given impressive grades in the area of long-term care as well. Indeed, it received one of our most dominant scores in that category with a score of A-. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.63437 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also received an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this area. Our short-term care ratings are presumably more meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final category we graded turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still gave it a decent grade of C for our nursing category. We weighed the skill-level of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared to most other nursing homes. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its patients.
